Description:

The annual update to CPT® for those who bill and code professional services for providers need to understand the changes and applying them to the services and procedures performed in reimbursement. It becomes unclear to review the changes and how the changed code should be applied in comparison to the previous version of CPT. The AMA copywrites the CPT® coding manual also offers a conference annually to explain how to apply the changes. The webinar will give the insight on the proper application of the changes for 2019. This will avoid the risk of applying coding changes incorrectly which can result in audits and recoupments of previously paid claims.

Why Should You Attend:

The objectives for this webinar are to understand the 327 changes to the CPT® manual for 2019 that includes 211 new codes, 49 revisions, and 67 deletions, as well as learning how to use these codes correctly for clean claims to insurance carriers for timely reimbursement.
This will include information from the AMA’s recent coding conference that explains the changes as well as the rationale’s of the changes and practical application.  You want to always make sure the appropriate codes are applied for the procedures and services performed.  This allows compliance and maximum payment for what was performed.
