Accurate coding is the best way to avoid denials and keep your accounts receivable in check. Follow a few simple steps to identify the appropriate codes and modifiers to ensure timely and correct payment. Additionally, knowing when and how to report an E/M code with a biopsy or after a biopsy, will make sure you are reimbursed fully for the work you do.
This concise webinar provides the code and rationale you need to code correctly and optimize your revenue for these commonly performed procedures in breast surgery.
This webinar will address:
- Tips to avoid breast biopsy denials
- Percutaneous, incisional and excisional biopsy; what’s the difference?
- Global days for each
- Reporting more than one biopsy at the same session. When is a 50 modifier appropriate? How about an add-on code?
- Can an E/M and a biopsy be reported on the same day?
- Can an E/M code be reported during the global period of a biopsy if the biopsy was positive for cancer?
