On-Demand: Office Procedures - Document and Code Them Right

Office Procedures—Document and Code Them Right

Total Runtime: 60 minutes

This program meets AAPC guidelines for 1.0 CEUs. Note: CEU's expire on 5/31/2024.

Coding for procedures done in your office depends on understanding the criteria for the procedure supported by surgeon-friendly templates to capture essential documentation. Surgeons commonly excise lesions, perform biopsies, and do laceration repairs in their office and other outpatient settings. Often, EHR templates fail to prompt you to document key information to support the code. When insurers ask for records or you file an appeal—the missing details result in no payment. This session walks you through examples of solid documentation for office procedures and appropriate use of modifier -25 and discusses diagnosis coding that establishes medical necessity for the service.

Learning Objectives

• Document office procedures based on the CPT requirements
• Select the correct codes for office procedures
• Be confident when to bill for both an office visit and a procedure and use modifier -25
