Pain management is a specialty focused on minimizing the pain our patients experience daily. Providers offer a host of different procedures that have the potential to alleviate this pain. Once these procedures are completed, it is up to the provider and billing staff to make sure that these procedures are translated into the correct CPT codes.
Correct coding is essential to maximize reimbursement. In this 180-minute session we will discuss multiple procedures and scenarios that are performed in the pain management office, ambulatory surgery center and outpatient hospital. We will discuss pain procedures from the less invasive to more complicated procedures. Proper counting multi-level procedures versus bilateral procedures as well as when to use modifiers will be presented as well.
Medication coding is as important as procedure coding. The calculations can be tricky! We will discuss drug dosages to billed unit calculations. MATH is involved! What should you look for in an office note or procedure not to make sure the medications are captured? Medicare and many other payers require the use of JW modifier effective January 1, 2017. We will discuss when you should and should not use this modifier. Documentation of medications in the record will be discussed as this is key to correct coding. You will be confident of where to look in the record and the HCPCS book for information related to billing units.
