$99 | Knowledge is the Key to surviving a payor audit. Thorough and accurate documentation is essential to support all services billed. Healthcare providers must prioritize medical coding best practices to minimize errors and ensure compliance with coding guidelines. Failure to meet legal and regulatory standards in medical coding can result in costly audits for practices. With the increasing prevalence of healthcare fraud, Medicare, Medicaid, and private payors are paying closer attention to coding discrepancies. To avoid medical coding audits, practices must adhere to strict regulatory compliance and adopt best practices in coding. A good understanding of the type of audits, how to respond to an audit, and the steps to ensure compliance are essential for every medical practice.

$99| Healthcare organizations utilize Artificial Intelligence in many forms: Natural Language Processing, Deep Language Learning, Machine Learning, and Generative Artificial Intelligence. The coder's role is changing to require an elevated level of expertise. While AI offers many advantages, such as increased efficiency and reduced error rates, it is unlikely to replace human medical coders completely. Instead, AI may help coders focus on more complex, nuanced tasks while improving overall productivity.

$99| Meeting ongoing patient needs, such as furnishing and coordinating medically necessary medical services, is impossible without documenting each patient encounter completely, accurately, and promptly. Documentation is often the communication tool used by and between medical professionals. Records not properly documented with all relevant and important facts can prevent the next provider from furnishing sufficient services or supporting medical necessity for the claim(s) submitted. The outcome can result in erratic or even dangerous treatment and cause unintended complications. While meeting patient needs is the most important reason for documenting services, it is not the only one. Another reason for reporting medical services is compliance with federal and state laws. These laws require practitioners to maintain the records necessary to “fully disclose the extent of the services,” care, and supplies furnished to patients and support claims billed. This session will cover an overview of medical necessity and why complete and accurate documentation matters.

$99| Productivity-based compensation, using work wRVUs to determine compensation, is the norm in employed physician groups and is prevalent in academic practices. Getting paid based upon output seems both equitable and motivational. Yet, the resounding refrain from employed physicians is that productivity-based compensation is not working for them. They are working harder than ever, only to hear their wRVUs are not meeting expectations. How is this happening? This session will explore how wRVU compensation works, the most common issues concerning physicians about this methodology, and some definitive steps to take to address the main issues.
