Mastering E/M Coding 9 a.m. to 12 noon (Prgm# 14507-0610)
Mastering E/M Coding: Understanding physician & staff roles
Are you confident that the E/M codes that your physician gives you are correct? Improper code selection and poor documentation continues to be huge problem area. Far too many practices under-document, leaving the practice wide open to significant financial risk. This course will teach you how to substantiate, support, and verify codes to ensure accuracy. This is an intermediate-level coding course. Bring current CPT & ICD-9-CM Vols. I & II to class. Bonus
E/M coding grids will be supplied.
Course Overview:
1. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of the E/M code selection process.
2. Receive a comprehensive explanation of documentation guidelines and the guiding principles of accurate, adequate and clinically useful information.
3. Learn how to implement a consistent, ongoing internal self-audit program that will help staff proactively identify and correct potential problems.
Chart Auditing Fundamentals 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. (Prgm# 14508-0610)
Chart Auditing for Physician Services
Don't become a statistic: verify your practice charts now. You can pay a consultant to do it, wait for Medicare to send you an audit letter, or take a proactive stance and train office staff to perform ongoing practice self-checks. Adapt a systematic approach to cross-checking records so you always know where you stand. Find and correct holes in your system before an external auditor does. New attention from the OIG, RACs and other third-party auditors makes this built-in practice self-check more important than ever!
Course Overview:
1. Adapt a systematic approach to cross-checking records so you always know where you stand.
2. Receive self-check forms and tools to help grade charts on an ongoing basis.
3. Improve communication with physicians and staff about chart documentation and ensure that appropriate levels of service are billed.
