Unravel the nuances of the new vs. established rule, code with confidence and boost reimbursement.

Whether a patient is new or established affects more than the E/M code you select. You can lose up to $60 each time you code a new patient as established. You must keep track of every patient your physicians and NPPs see in the office and hospitals to receive every penny you’re due from Medicare and private payers. When you code an established patient as new, you rack up overpayments and become a target to auditors who are already scanning your claims data for this mistake.

E/M coding expert Janae Ballard guides you through the trickiest new vs. established scenarios to show you how to get it right every time.

During this webinar you’ll learn:

  • How a patient’s hospital status guides the code you should select for the hospital and later office visits
  • The 42 codes that are impacted by the new vs. established rule
  • Solutions to common new doctor scenarios – Hint: A patient who follows a doctor to a new practice isn’t automatically established
  • How reciprocal and call sharing arrangements impact whether a patient is new or established
  • Tips to help you quickly determine whether a patient is established, even if he’s never been in the office
  • How clinicians can document their work when an “established” patient is new to the provider who sees him – Hint: They can get paid for the extra work

Don’t let new vs. established patient errors deflate your bottom line and raise your compliance risks. After this 90-minute webinar you’ll always have the right answer to patient encounter questions.
