1 Volume 2. Issue 3. March 203 Cristy Donaldson, CPC, CPMA Coding Specialist Are you struggling with knowing how to document and code for a Preventive and Problem visit on the same day? As a certified coder and a certified auditor, I frequently hear complaints from both providers and patients about this. Here are a few simple tips and reminders for you to follow. This will help you stay out of hot water with patients and insurance carriers: ) When a patient calls to schedule an appointment, ask if the patient is new or established AND ask if the patient is requesting a preventive/well visit or a problem visit. Make notes in your computer about this. 2) When the patient arrives for their appointment, the reception area should view the notes in the computer to determine what type of visit is occurring. Many preventive/well services are now covered at 00% and do not require a co-payment; in fact, it may be considered improper to collect a copayment on such services. 3) Upon triage, the nurse or medical assistant should again ask if the patient is having any problems that need to be addressed during today s visit, particularly if the patient s chief complaint/reason for visit is for a preventive/well visit. 4) Providers should review this in the chart before initiating the encounter. If the patient in the examination room appears to be a preventive/well visit but mentions a problem to you the provider, you must determine the course of action. You can treat the problem, provide the preventive/well service, or both; however, this must be clearly communicated to the patient. Patients will accept their financial responsibility much better if they know how you intend to bill their insurance before they leave your office. 5) If you the provider elect to provide both services, you should only bill separately for the problem visit if the problem was significant and separately identifiable. What does that mean? It means the work involved for the problem must require additional history, exam and work-up beyond what would normally be performed during the preventive/well visit. If the problem could easily be treated within the scope of the preventive/well visit, it would be inappropriate to bill separately for it. If the problem is significant and separately identifiable, append modifier 25 to the problem visit. The key word is significant. 6) Documentation trumps all. If the provider s documentation does not clearly support all of the services billed, you may find yourself in a sticky spot with the patient and/or the insurance carrier. The Chief Complaint/Reason for Visit must demonstrate all of the above. If a preventive/well service is billed, all the requirements of that service must be performed and documented. Did you know that a Preventive Medicine Visit requires a comprehensive history and examination as appropriate for the age and gender of the patient? If you report a preventive/well and a problem service, your documentation should support BOTH. Continued Page 2
2 Page 2 / Catch the Coding Wave 7) Some insurance carriers have a hard rule and will not pay for both on the same day. It is a good idea to get familiar with which insurance carriers have a rule about this. Lastly, it is never appropriate to change a code just to please a patient. If the patient presented for a preventive/well visit but you determined a problem visit must be performed instead, you must explain this to the patient. It is not appropriate to change the code to please the patient. Furthermore, if the documentation is audited by the insurance carrier and it does not reflect the services performed, you may lose your reimbursement altogether. Because the determination of risk is complex and not readily quantifiable, the table of risk includes clinical examples rather than absolute measures. The highest level in any one category on the table determines of the overall level of risk. See page 3 of the Audit Tool. References: CMS 995 Guidelines Taking an Anatomy & Physiology course is a great way for coders and/or anyone non-clinical to begin their education for ICD-0. There are online and class room based courses available with a variety of vendors. Consider AAPC, AHIMA, your local community college or an online college. The key component of Medical Decision Making is broken down into three sections: ) Number of Diagnoses or Treatment Options 2) Amount and/or Complexity of Data 3) Table of Risk Each of these sections receives a score and is applied to the MDM table. The overall MDM score is determined by the highest 2/3 sections. This month we will focus on the Table of Risk. This table stratifies the risk of significant complications, morbidity and/or mortality, as well as the co-morbidities associated with the patient s presenting problem(s), the diagnostic procedures(s) and/or the possible management options.
