New Facet Injection Codes: Keys to Getting Paid, Not Denied
Audio Conference Recording Price: 199.00 (U.S. Dollars) -
SUMMARY
Coding and documenting facet injections is so complicated and confusing that 63% of all claims result in an error. In an effort to reduce the number of claim errors AMA has removed the existing facet joint injection codes and instituted new ones. Join us for a 60-minute audio conference where you and your coding and reimbursement co-workers will discover:
- Which codes were deleted - and what codes took their place
- Imaging for needle guidance is now required - but not separately billable
- How to report facet joint injections performed under anatomic guidance
- New 2nd and 3rd level codes - when and how to use them
-
PROGRAM BENEFITS
After this 60-minute audio conference, you will have clear understanding of what the new facet injection codes represent and how to use them. You will also receive a clear explanation of why AMA felt compelled to change them and what coding and reimbursement problems the new codes are designed to correct.
