Clear-cut instruction, augmented with hands-on coding and auditing of drug administration cases
Coding for drug administration contains hidden threats to revenue integrity — threats that stem from not having a firm grasp of terminologies, hierarchies, reporting guidelines, National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) edits, medically unlikely edits (MUEs) and other key concepts. It's time to get your team, including novice to intermediate coders, grounded in coding best practices for drug administration in the outpatient infusion and emergency departments.
The presenter of this MedLearn Publishing webcast, coding and billing expert Tiffani Bouchard, brings her instruction to life through interactive coding of drug infusion and injection cases from the outpatient and ED settings. You'll take away a wealth of actionable information that leads to improved practices, from fully reporting time for hydration therapy, to reconciling edits and performing effective claim reviews.
