Description
Ever get confused about which modifier to apply? Does your E/M justify a 25 modifier with a minor procedure? Was that surgery staged or an unplanned return visit to the operating room? Does the documentation support adding modifier 22? We will take a dive into all things modifiers.
This webinar, Surgical Modifiers: The Secret Sauce of Coding Precision, will provide a clear, practical breakdown of the key differences between the different modifiers, including how each is applied and what documentation to look for. We will address common pain points, how to determine which modifier is correct, and the potential impacts.
Objectives:
- Identify documentation requirements and coding responsibilities for all professional service modifiers
- Apply correct use of modifiers to scenarios
- Avoid common unbundling issues
- Apply modifiers to various cases to understand how and when they are applicable
