Webinar Recording Price: 199.00 (U.S. Dollars) -
SUMMARY
You've chosen the right code but the actual service wasn't completely done - now what? There are specific modifiers designed to flag the payor that part of the service was not done - and of course they each have their own strict rules and guidelines for when you can and can't use them. Join us for a 60-minute Webinar where you and your coding and reimbursement staff will discover:
- Reduced services - modifier 52 or 53 - how to tell
- Discontinued services - modifier 53, 73 or 74 - clear up the confusion
- Keys to determining the appropriate amount to charge
- Avoid errors and denials: guidelines for Facilities v. physicians
-
