Learning Objectives:
Following this course, the attendee should be able to:
- Demonstrate knowledge of evaluation and management, and surgical coding
- Demonstrate an understanding of the proper use of modifiers
- Formulate plans to improve documentation in the office setting
Description:
Providing dermatologic services to your patients does not automatically entitle you to be paid. To be appropriately reimbursed we must be familiar with hundreds of numeric and alpha-numeric codes and modifiers. And to support the use of such codes, our documentation has to include specific details of our service. This session is intended to add to the knowledge of all dermatologists - those wishing to improve their coding as well as those who consider themselves competent. Our guarantee - "No one leaves without a coding and documentation tip to take back to their office."
