AN IDEAL RESOURCE
FOR: Hospital clinical laboratories
THE #1 REASON TO OWN
THIS BOOK:
The potential for
coding and billing errors has never been higher than it is in 2013, due to
a convergence of factors starting with the redo of CPT codes for molecular
pathology. Compounding this challenge are the ongoing mistakes we see in our audits
of laboratory claims. For example, a code is assigned for basic blood product
processing when it should be for a premium product, costing the hospital
significant revenue. Erroneous dates of service create another common pitfall,
leading to medically unlikely edits (MUEs) and claim denials.
