Audio conference: What no more consults means to you

by CHARLES FIEGL on Dec 7, 2009

Part B News is hosting an emergency audio conference on the end of consultation billing for your Medicare patients starting Jan. 1. The audio conference is this Thursday (for more information click here).

Your practice must stop billing consult codes on Medicare claims for services rendered on Jan. 1 and beyond.  Don't be left in the dark on how this change will impact your practice. Guest speaker and presenter Betsy Nicoletti, CPC, will help you get ready for the new coding and billing rules so you obtain full reimbursement for your consultation work next year.

Betsy will review:

  • How consult changes affect your E/M and consult coding/billing, and your bottom line in 2010
  • How you'll use a new modifier when billing an inpatient consult service
  • Billing scenarios you'll encounter once consult services go away Jan. 1
  • How you can best juggle Medicare's billing rules with private payer rules to avoid denials and losing revenue

Sign up for this emergency consult audio conference today!
