PR1: "Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) Simplicity"
Tom Weida, MD, Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Hershey, Pa
Increase practice revenue by thousands of dollars a year. CPT coding and proper documentation are critical to running a successful practice—unfortunately, many practices under-code. Others put themselves in jeopardy by not documenting properly for how they code visits. Proper coding and documentation of visits does not have to be time consuming or complex to achieve accurate results.
This workshop will focus on proper CPT coding for evaluation and management codes and proper documentation to support that coding. Additional codes that are helpful in an office setting will also be presented, such as coding for tobacco cessation counseling.
Participants in this workshop will participate via an audience response system, and will be polled on coding examples both before and after didactic material.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will learn an easy approach to CPT coding that will minimize under-coding and enhance revenue.
2. Participants will learn documentation techniques essential to proper CPT coding.
3. Participants will learn about new CPT codes for services that can be performed in the office.
Fee: $95
