When, Why and How to Use Time-based Codes: Clear Up the Confusion
Webinar Recording Price: 199.00 (U.S. Dollars) -
SUMMARY
Sometimes ICD-9 and CPT codes just don't tell the whole story. Whether in the office, hospital, clinic, or nursing facility, there are situations when time-based coding is more accurate and can increase revenue. Time-based coding goes a step beyond the normal E/M coding but if used too often or inappropriately can be a red flag for auditors. Join us for a 60-minute webinar where you and your coding and reimbursement staff will discover:
- How time-based coding enhances typical-time E/M coding
- Prolonged service or time-based codes - what's the difference?
- Ways to tell if a service counts toward time-based coding or not
- Counting and documenting time - rules that must be followed
-
PROGRAM BENEFITS
After this program you will have a plain-English explanation of why, when and how to use time-based codes. You'll also discover proven techniques to help you decide if a service does or does not qualify for time-based coding.
