The expert guidance you need to be confident in your nuclear medicine coding and billing
A year after major changes to the way planar, SPECT, SPECT/CT and myocardial PET scans are coded were implemented, there are still lingering areas of uncertainty regarding the proper use of these codes. Of course, confusing NCCI edits to begin the year didn’t help with a smooth transition. This annual review of Nuclear Medicine coding, compliance and reimbursement aims clear up some of those lingering questions while bringing you up to speed on what’s coming in the new year.
During this session, Jeff Majchrzak will address some of the biggest ongoing challenges in nuclear medicine/PET coding and billing. With the anticipated full implementation of the Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) program plus uncertainty about reimbursements for cardiac PET, this is a session you can’t afford to miss to ensure complete and compliant coding and billing for nuclear medicine services.
