Time-Based Coding: Uncover Hidden Reimbursement
Every year payers continue to CHISEL away at the reimbursement you’re eligible to receive. But you don’t have to take it laying down. With some slight changes to your processes, you can increase your overall reimbursement without adding any services, resources or staff. The answer is TIME.
Stop providing the additional time your providers spend with your patients and their families for free and get paid more of what you deserve. This includes both face-to-face and non-face-to-face time, depending on the circumstances. Tracking and getting paid for this additional provider time is not as difficult as you might think, if you know how…
Expert coder and educator, Veronica Hodges, CPC, CPMA, CPC-I, is going to show you how. During her upcoming, 60-minute online training session, she’ll walk you through the easy-to-implement process of tracking, recording and getting paid for this additional patient care time step-by-step. Veronica will uncover little known reimbursement opportunities and allow you to ethically boost your bottom line.
Here are just a few of the challenges you’ll be able to overcome after completing this 60-minute time-based coding online training session:
