Chicago 2023 - Surgical Power Coding - ENT

ENT Surgical Power Coding

Saturday, November 4th |Hyatt Centric Chicago Magnificent Mile

8:00 am - 4:00 pm Central

Cost: $925
It’s more important now than ever to keep current with an understanding of new and existing codes which depend on coding accuracy.  The 2023 Otolaryngology surgical procedure coding course sifts through all that is new and important in Otolaryngology coding and packs it into an intensive, fast paced day. This year's agenda covers all you need to know to code and document accurately and efficiently in 2023 and beyond.

The course describes why documentation is as essential as the code selected, and how to capture all potential revenue by improving your notes. We'll show you the correct way to use surgical payment modifiers so that you optimize payment. You'll leave armed with ideas and techniques for setting up systems that reduce denials and increase successful appeals.

 The course also provides in depth and clinically relevant instruction on coding for Otology, Rhinology, Laryngology, facial plastics including repairs, ATTs and Flaps and Grafts.  Also included are head and neck procedures including, Parathyroid procedures, laryngectomies, skull base surgery and much more…

 Learn the latest coding, billing, and reimbursement strategies for new technology in ENT procedures. Finally, we’ll end with hands on coding of Otolaryngology operative reports and how documentation impacts the code selection process.

 A special feature this year, are the new and revised codes for Osseointegrated implants

 Real-life cases and discussions that link clinical procedures to the selection of CPT codes make this course ideal for surgeons and coding staff. This course is rich with real life clinical scenarios and a comprehensive workbook that will become your first response coding resource.

Founded by a practicing physician and his patient, a successful software entrepreneur, our company, Modernizing Medicine, took a dramatically different approach to developing our electronic health records (EHR) systems. We hired doctors and taught them how to code. The result is highly custom software specifically designed for the needs of each specialty. With the help of our doctors who code, our platforms are built for speed and efficiency.
