How the Audio Conference Works

Not what you were looking for?

You may think of the Medicare Fee Schedule as just a place to go to check your fees – or in some cases – bemoan the amount!  But if you use it only for the RVU angle for Medicare payments, you are missing a golden opportunity.  The fee schedule has much more in it – it’s chock full of information for coding and billing for both Medicare and private payers. 

With your practice’s costs on the rise and reimbursement from Medicare and private payers facing an imminent decline, your practice will likely feel the squeeze. It has never been a better time to find out just how you can use the fee schedule to your benefit.

Take advantage of this key information – let coding and billing guru Jan Rasmussen, CPC, CCP, ACS-OB, ACS-GI, show you how to tap into the free Medicare site so you can get your own copy.  Jan will walk you through the intricacies of the fee schedule and help you sort through the 40 odd columns of information so you can easily access the key coding information. 

Join Jan for just 60 minutes and you’ll walk away armed with the tools you need to mine the Medicare Fee Schedule for coding rules that will benefit your practice. You’ll find:

• What the “status” codes mean and what clues that can give you towards a code payment
• How to determine if a procedure you are billing for qualifies as an assistant or co-surgeon payable for this procedure
• How to find the base procedure associated with a surgical endoscopy
• What modifier 78 tells you about the percentage of the allowed amount you’ll get paid.
• Why a service is not separately paid when it is denied and not part of the CCI bundling edits.
• What level of supervision is required for this diagnostic test?

Bonus: You get a direct link to the fee schedule document that you can use throughout the year to solve tricky coding problems.
