The answers you need for correct coding and billing
Many ultrasound
providers run the risk of denied claims, possibly even auditor action, because
of confusion over complex coding and billing rules. What is the correct CPT®
code for an obstetrical vs. non-OB pelvic exam? Retroperitoneal vs. abdominal
ultrasound? Complete vs. limited extremity ultrasound? Our Ultrasound Coder book answers these and many other questions,
helping to ensure a smoother reimbursement process and a decreased risk of
noncompliance. Highlights:
CPT
codes, billing tips, and
coding guidance related to biopsy, aspiration, needle localization, and
vascular-access procedures Clarification
of correct coding for
non-invasive peripheral duplex and Doppler vascular procedures, including
ankle brachial index (ABI) assessments Explains
the difference between
complete and limited abdominal/retroperitoneal scans Detailed
information related to coding
for echocardiography (fetal and non-fetal) in the hospital and physician
office setting Case
studies addressing many common
concerns pertaining to the application of CPT codes, plus a chapter
devoted to answering many frequently asked questions Updated
APC payments and physician fee
schedules Appendices containing detailed information related
to the ordering of additional diagnostic tests by the radiologist Documentation
examples for both obstetrical
and non-OB procedures At-a-glance
tables with codes, modifiers,
payments, and descriptions
AN IDEAL RESOURCE
FOR: Any provider of ultrasound services in the hospital, clinic, physician
office, freestanding imaging center, or womens center
THE #1 REASON TO OWN
THIS BOOK:
Conservatively, 20%
of claims for ultrasound procedures are flawed, due to miscoding and/or
inadequate physician documentation, based on audits performed by our radiology
coding and billing experts. Prime examples of recurring problem areas include
incorrect CPT coding for duplex imaging and down-coding because of insufficient
documentation. These issues and myriad others pose major threats to reimbursement
and regulatory compliance threats that can be defused by deploying the
knowledge contained in Ultrasound Coder.
