Presentation Slides

Pdf Summary

The document discusses various non-face-to-face coding and documentation opportunities in cardiovascular care, emphasizing the importance of efficient coding for maximizing revenue in medical practices. It highlights educational opportunities such as coding CEU certificates for attendees of Revenue Cycle Solutions webcasts by MedAxiom. A key point is the emphasis on capitalizing on billable services that don't necessarily require face-to-face interaction with patients. This includes services by clinical staff like nurses or pharmacists that can be billed under the physician or APP’s supervision.<br /><br />Significant attention is given to the use of the code G0136 for Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) assessments, stressing that it's important to incorporate this into practice, as well as the related Z Codes for documenting noncompliance in medical treatment. The document also discusses caregiver training codes and their billing implications.<br /><br />Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) are highlighted as modern methods for patient data collection, alongside requirements by CMS, such as the necessity for an established patient relationship and the duration of data collection.<br /><br />The document outlines procedures for claiming CEU credits and emphasizes an accurate billing strategy for interprofessional consultations and home health certifications. It touches upon the necessity for detailed documentation and proactive patient consent for certain billable services, with specific codes mentioned for services like Principal Care Management (PCM), Chronic Care Management (CCM), and Complex Chronic Care Management (CCCM).<br /><br />Additionally, the document stresses the anticipation of continuous oversight by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) to ensure proper billing and reimbursements, indicating practices must remain vigilant and compliant with CMS regulations. MedAxiom’s disclaimer emphasizes that the document is informational, not providing legal or coding advice directly.
