Why Should You Attend?

Medicare as well as other insurance carriers have specific policies related to nail debridement, treatment of corns and calluses, flat foot, and bunions, just to name a few conditions.  The conference will offer CPT and ICD-10 codes to know when the patient will be responsible for services or what the medical necessity and Documentation requirements are in order to effectively pass an audit by CMS or a commercial carrier.  If the patient does not meet the medical necessity requirements, working with the patient on the payment of these services can be an important part of having a successfully profitable practice.  These requirements can change at any time, so knowing the current requirements is critical.
