Description
Coding for gastrointestinal procedures can be tricky on both the diagnostic and CPT side. Requirements for coverage of preventive care for through Medicare and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) add another layer of complexity. In this webinar, we will explore ICD-10-CM coding for screening colorectal exams and common GI conditions often identified or treated in the endoscopy suite. The presenter will also cover CPT coding rules along with billing guidelines for preventive care as defined by Medicare and the ACA.
Objectives:
- Distinguish between screening, diagnostic, therapeutic, and follow-up
- Differentiate types of colon polyps
- Contrast sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy
- Recognize when screening HCPCS codes should be used rather than diagnostic CPT codes
