4 Is it: Patient Care? Are patients cared for no matter what their financial status? Do you consider patient care over cost? Will you care for patients free of charge? Do you provide and order services, tests or prescription solely on the need of the patient? Do you take Medical assistance?
5 Is it: A Business? Do you consider cost, when deciding how to care for a patient? Do you consider cost, when ordering tests or medications? Patients can t schedule appointments if they owe your company money. You only participate with commercial payers since they pay more. Do you charge for NoShows
6 Payer Driven Payer policy tells you what is considered medically necessary, when deciding how to care for a patient s problems. You consider what payer and cost when ordering tests or medications. You always have to be aware of payers formulary. You have to know what CPT or HCPCS code a payer allows for your service. (S-codes, G-codes)
7 Endocrinology is all of the above You have to: Balance patient care and medical cost. Balance the payer mix in your office (Medical Assistance vs. Medicare vs. Payer vs. cash patients). commercial Know how to correctly charge for your service. Follow Payer Guidelines.

30 NEW CPT CODES Non Face to Face Telephone Services minutes Medical Discussion minutes Medical Discussion minutes Medical Discussion
31 NEW CPT CODES Telephone service codes Non Face-to-Face E&M service Must be initiated by established patient or guardian of an established patient can not end in a decision to see the patient within the following 24 hours Cannot be a follow-up to a patient visit within the past 7 days. Since the fee schedule includes RVUs for , some private and other public payers may pay for the codes Medicare considers telephone call codes to be non covered services
32 NEW CPT CODES On-line Medical Evaluation Online electronic medical examination Non Face-to-Face evaluation and management Performed by a physician In response to a patient s online inquiry Think of patient portals, where patients have 24 hour access, to send inquires to the provider. These messages can end up to be problem solving, online, E&M visits. Documentation is the key for these kind of services.
33 Myth about Consult Codes Consultation CPT codes are not accepted anymore Most government payer will not allow consult codes to be charged ( ) Most commercial payers will still allow Consultations and allow consult codes to be used.
34 Myth about Consult Codes Consultation requests cannot be made within the same office or the same specialty Requests can be made by lower licensed professionals (CRNP, PA, CNM) if they are not qualified to have the knowledge about certain diseases. Requests can also be made by same licensed professionals in the same office if the requesting provider is not familiar with a disease and the consulting provider has significant more knowledge about the disease.
35 UNDER USED CODES Prolonged Service Codes Used if unexpected a Face-to-Face visit ends up to be much more time consuming then expected. Scheduled time 25 minutes (99214 office visit) Actual time 60 minutes ( ) Scheduled time 40 minutes (99215 office visit) Actual time 75 minutes ( )
36 UNDER USED CODES - Prolonged Service codes and Less than 30 minutes no extra code minutes minutes x x1-105 minutes x x2 or more for each additional 30 minutes and for inpatient used to report non face to face time for before and/or after direct patient care first hour and each additional 30 minutes, does not have to be continues. Documentation
37 The most important ways to maximize your business and maximizing patient care: Code and document correctly Always Document medical necessity Why did you perform or order a service Code all services performed and documented Add additional services according to standard of care (ABI, POC Lab Tests, Eye Exam)
38 ABOVE ALL ELSE: VERIFY INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR EVERY PATIENT FOR EVERY VISIT RE-WORK REJECTIONS RE-SUBMIT CORRECTED CLEAN CLAIMS UNTIL THEY ARE PAID
