CodeCast | Medical Billing and Coding Insights Terry Fletcher

Are you a “Subject Matter Expert?” Are you taking on clients, presenting to physicians, or looking for a coding job: with no expertise?

Do not “wing it” in the healthcare field. You will hurt yourself or your credibility unless you disclose your limitations to the person you are doing business with. (Not to mention potentially hurting the physician, client, or practice.)

Terry discusses this problem and how to overcome it in this episode of the CodeCast podcast.

Many of the records Terry audits include a disclaimer to protect a physician from liability. However, does this disclaimer shield a physician who has signed a note or authenticated an electronic encounter? (Under the assumption the physician reviewed it?)

In this episode of the CodeCast podcast, Terry discusses the protections of a disclaimer and whether this evades the responsibility, and compliance, of documentation.

Some procedures in the CPT book are listed as “separate procedures” meaning they are commonly carried out as an integral component of a total service or procedure that has already been identified.

In this episode, Terry discusses if, and when, you can report these with a code for the total procedure if modifiers will help, and what details to pay attention to.

As a bonus, the coding question of the day relates to PV procedures.
