Are you charging Medicare everything you’re allowed to? The answer is: Probably Not!
Updating your fee schedule is the ONLY way you can get paid every penny of what you deserve from Medicare. And the only way to do this accurately is to master the ins and out of the Physician Fee Schedule (PFS). The 2018 version of this report is out, and there are a variety of changes that will directly impact how and what you are paid for the services you provide. Not making these changes means you are leaving thousands of uncollected revenue on the table.
Diving into the PFS on your own can be overwhelming. However, with a guide to walk you through the most significant changes, you can ensure your reimbursement is accurate, and that your coding practices don’t get you audited or leave you paying massive penalties and fines.
This is where coding expert and educator, Kim Huey, MJ, CHC, CPC, CCS-P, PCS, CPCO, COC, can help. Kim recorded a 90-minute online training that will help you identify those PFS changes that will most impact your practice. You’ll be able to finally understand the nuances of this complex report, and utilize it each year to improve your compliance and overall revenue.
Here are just a few of the practical PFS utilization tactics you’ll receive by viewing this 90-minute online training:
- Take full advantage of new Medicare reimbursement available for telehealth services
- Finally get paid for Care Management Services you are likely already providing for free
- Receive improved payment for office-based behavioral health services
- Take advantage of billing opportunities for your Diabetes Prevention Programs
- More accurately calculate Medicare payments with increased valuation codes and RVU changes
- Determine when you’re due enhanced reimbursements for biosimilar products
- Uncover Rural Health Clinics and Federally Qualified Health Centers payments for care coordination
- And so much more…
Incorporating the most recent changes from the Medicare PFS doesn’t only affect the revenue you receive. For example, undercharging for your services or not having a consistent fee schedule can throw up red flags with Medicare and get you audited. That means an auditor can dig through YEARS of your claims to identify compliance issues which lead to hefty fines.
Don’t take the risk that your current fee schedule is out of date, or that you are doing something that will get you audited. Invest just 90 minutes of your time and view this online training. You’ll walk away from this training session with a firm understanding of how you can make the PFS work for you and your bottom line. Don’t wait, order today.
