Get paid for the E&M services you provide

Many facilities don't bill for the evaluation and management services they provide prior to interventional radiology procedures- often because they simply don't realize they can. As a result, they may be missing out on significant revenue opportunities. This how-to resource cuts through the complexities of E&M coding for pre-procedure patient visits, while helping you avoid common mistakes. MedLearn teamed up with leading IR coding authority Richard Duszak, Jr., MD, to prepare this book. Highlights:

• Documentation strategies for establishing a solid medical record
• Coverage and reimbursement basics, including the many interconnected requirements of billing and payment processes
• Covers "incident to" services and reviews changing industry practices related to the number of E&M services provided during the global surgery period

• Quick-check tables of recommended code assignments
• NEW FOR 2010:
