Session 1 - Billing for Nurse Practitioner (NP) and Physician Assistant (PA) Services - 2024 Updates

CMS/Medicare and CPT have been in different places with their definition of "substantive portion" for a split shared visit.  It was anticipated that in 2024 CMS/Medicare would again have a different way of looking at which provider can bill this type of joint service when done in a facility setting.  The PFS Final rule surprised many as CMS/Medicare said they would be following the new clarified policy set forth in CPT's 2024 code book.  What is this new definitions of "substantive portion" and what does it mean for your NPs and PAs working in the hospital and other facility based locations?  Listen in and learn.  Bring your questions with you

The rules of billing for Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants can be confusing and challenging.  Each payer can have their own definitions for direct and indirect billing of their services.  Comparing these rules reveals a diverse and oft times confusing list of what compliant billing of these provider’s indirect services entails. 

CMS has been transitioning their definition of split/shared visits for the past few years in calling for a substantive portion of the work to be done by the billing provider while allowing an alternative definition.  Although this has been extended until the end of 2024, CPT®’s new definition causes much discussion on where their rules would fall into place with CMS'.

Webinar Objectives

Compliant billing of Non-physician Practitioners (NPPs) is no easy task.  Dealing with differing sets of payer rules can give coders and billers fits.  This session is intended not only to present a simplified view of NPP billing, but also to show how the updated guidelines CPT® has defined will integrate into this landscape.

Webinar Agenda

2024 CPT® updates to split shared billing.  what we know today about this new definition from the AMA and how they see the day-to-day documentation changes needed to meet it.

Session 2 - Coding & Billing For Physical Therapy - 2024 Updates

Each year there are updates to some of the most critical parts billing and coding by means of CPT® and the Medicare Physicians Fee Schedule.  In 2024 there is a new to way in which caregiver training is reported and there is still some confusion on when modifiers have to be assigned to procedures involving assistants.  Each year there are also possible updates to the Medicare policies for therapy with new threshold limits and the annual “always therapy” listing that also requires the use of modifiers.

This webinar will look at the issues for 2024.  2024 had some changes in therapy related to caregiver training. We need to assess the use of assistants now that we should have been reporting on their involvement with modifiers.  Our expert speaker will talk about the Physicians Fee Schedule Final Rule for 2024 along with the annual therapy update and any other CMS changes.

Session 7 - Podiatry and DME Updates for 2024

This webinar will allow review the major changes made to CPT® in Podiatry for 2024.  We will look at the current Medicare guidelines for Podiatry, so attendees will receive information relevant to their daily code assignment.  We will also discuss the rationale of the new codes from the AMA’s perspective, so that attendees will understand how to use the codes and be compliant.  The session will also give attendees the latest information on the Medicare policies related to foot care. 

Medicare and other insurance carriers have specific guidelines for documenting, dispensing, and billing for Durable Medical Equipment.  Many offices struggle with profit losses because they do not have a good process for DME.  There are new guidelines for documentation needed for DME as well as other Local Coverage Determinations for governmental payors including Medicare that explain the medical necessity requirement for these items to be reimbursed.  Once the required elements are known, and an office process is created, office can see a profit in dispensing DME.

Webinar Objectives

Medicare as well as other insurance carriers have specific policies related to nail debridement, treatment of corns and calluses, flat foot, and bunions, just to name a few conditions.  The webinar will offer CPT and ICD-10 codes to know when the patient will be responsible for services or what the medical necessity and Documentation requirements are in order to effectively pass an audit by CMS or a commercial carrier.  If the patient does not meet the medical necessity requirements, working with the patient on payment of these services can be an important part of having a successful profitable practice.  These requirements can change at any time so knowing the current requirements is critical.

So many offices are not aware of all of the rules and guidelines that must be followed for therapy and to  dispense DME to patients.  This session will take attendees on the step-by-step process of enrolling in the Medicare program for DME, assigning codes to the items for billing purposes as well as what should be charged. We will also review the documentation requirements and ideas for keeping inventory.

Session 8 - 2024 Medicare Updates

The Final Rule for the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule for 2024 has been released giving us information needed for the upcoming year for services.  This final rule details what Medicare/CMS will be making in the way of changes to any HCPCS (and CPT) codes for the upcoming year.  This includes both policies and procedures as well as codes.  Understanding which are the appropriate codes for 2024 is an important piece of an office’s preparation for the new year.  Not only can new codes be added to the PFS, but code descriptors can change along with the policies and procedures CMS/Medicare defines for us to use.   For example, that are continuing Public Health (PHE) flexibilities under the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP) Expanded Model.  This means that although the PHE ended earlier in 2023, there will be “exceptions” or “allowances” to the MDPP program in 2024 that CMS/Medicare is defining. 

Also, this webinar will give tips on how to search and access information in the final rule document, which is over 2,000 pages.  Our expert speaker will also offer her personal comments on finding hidden gems of information within the rule. 

Webinar Objectives

The Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) final rule is a powerful document that is often overlooked in an office educating itself for the upcoming year.  Medicare has its own policies and procedures that may be defined or updated within this final rule.  If an office does not identify what changes, specific to their Medicare patients are happening, problems such as improper billing and coding of services, missing modifiers and ultimate lost revenue can occur.  Looking at the highlights below, one will see what will be covered in offering solutions to problems that may occur in 2024 with Medicare patients.  One of the most significant of which is use of the Visit Complexity Add on code.  This is not a code for all physicians to use.  In fact, CMS/Medicare is very specific in instructing who should use this code and how often.  A very important discussion to hear.

Webinar Highlights

The Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) Final Rule Highlights include the topics of

  • Adoption of the Office and other Evaluation & Management Visit Complexity add on code
  • Behavioral Health Services updates
  • Updates to codes and policies for Telehealth Service
  • New allowances and codes for Caregiver Training Services
  • Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Risk Assessment
  • Community Health Integration (CHI) and Principal Illness Navigation (PIN) services
  • Continuing Public Health (PHE) flexibilities under the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP) Expanded Model

Session 9 - 2024 Medicare Care Management Updates

Care Management services allow healthcare providers to monitor and manage their patients in real-time leveraging technology and communication tools at a distance.  The CMS (Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services) continues to invest and promote care management programs in healthcare.  The underlying objective for care management services is to improve quality of care, increase positive outcomes, and reduce hospital readmission rates.  The overall goal for these services is to improve quality of care, increase positive outcomes, reduce hospitalization and readmission rates.  Reimbursement and reporting rules for these services are enormously complex including significant updates in 2024.  Since many of the care coordination and care management services are time based, tracking service time is critical for compliant revenue cycle operations. 

This webinar will drill down into the 2024 Medicare Updates for care management services extensively, highlight the key differences between the various care coordination services available to providers, and provide you with tangible information that can be put into action immediately.

Webinar Objectives

Care Management billing and coding rules and clinical documentation requirements are complex and require ongoing education, monitoring, and oversight.  Robust clinical documentation and a solid operational infrastructure are paramount to the vitality of care management programs in healthcare organizations.
