$1,190

Approved for CEU and CME credits

Description:

It’s more important than ever to keep current with an understanding of new and existing codes which depend on coding accuracy. The 2024 Otolaryngology surgical procedure coding course sifts through all that is new and important in Otolaryngology coding and packs it into an intensive, fast-paced day. This year's agenda covers all you need to know to code and document accurately and efficiently in 2024 and beyond.

The course describes why documentation is as essential as the code selected and how to capture all potential revenue by improving your notes. We'll show you the correct way to use surgical payment modifiers so that you optimize payment. You'll leave armed with ideas and techniques for setting up systems that reduce denials and increase successful appeals.

The course also provides in-depth and clinically relevant instruction on coding for Otology, Rhinology, Laryngology and facial plastics including repairs, ATTs and Flaps and Grafts. 

Learn the latest coding, billing, and reimbursement strategies for allergy and immunology along with coding audiology services which are new topics this year.

This course is rich with real-life clinical scenarios and includes a comprehensive workbook that will become your first response coding resource.

Learning Objectives:

As a result of attending this course, participants will be able to:

• Compliantly apply new and revised otolaryngology CPT codes into your practice.
• Use surgery coding that meets CPT rules and government regulations, for commonly performed procedures.
• Identify areas for improvement in surgical documentation reviewing real life operative reports
• Integrate ENT subspecialty coding principles in otology/neurotology, rhinology, laryngology, facial plastics, allergy and audiology services
• Correctly code common general surgical procedures
• Accurately apply modifiers when they are required and understand their impact on reimbursement
