Over the past 3 years, the American Medical Association and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services have implemented new guidelines for Evaluation and Management Services. The first changes involved Office and Outpatient visits, and then 2 years later changes were made to Evaluation and Management services for the hospital, skilled nursing facility, and other resident facilities. As the new guidelines were being used, clarifications and revisions had to be made to assist providers in applying the guidelines as described. In this event we will go over the guidelines, and also discuss the 2024 updates to this chapter of CPT
Attendees will not only understand the codes visit changes for 2024, but they will learn first hand the reasoning behind these changes and appropriately application for compliant, clean claims. They will also gain knowledge enough to educate others within their office for all to be aware.
In knowing and understanding the coding changes for 2024 denials and delays in claims processing by insurance companies that hold up reimbursement will be avoided and the office cash flow will be maintained. Visits are always being scrutinized by insurance carriers but to the fact that these services are the most expensive to the insurance companies of any service or procedure. An audit by an insurance company, if errors are found, could cost a provider and/or practice refunds of the services and possible fines and penalties.
