While practice administrators don’t need to be medical coders to ensure their practices’ success, they do need to understand the difference between medical coding rules and reimbursement policies, the source of authoritative citations, and rules to achieve maximum revenue while maintaining compliance. This session will provide answers to common medical coding questions applicable to a wide range of specialties, and help participants find answers to other questions when they return to their practices.
Learning objectives:
- Describe the difference between coding rules and reimbursement policies
- List three relevant coding concepts and identify the source documentation that explains each concept
- More effectively supervise coding staff along with coding systems and processes
