Did you know…

As of 2023—the revised E/M guidelines are now extended to hospital inpatient, observation, and emergency department visits? Some service categories are going away entirely and others are being revised.  New parameters are being added to the criteria for medical decision making, and a new prolonged service code will be needed in the hospital setting.

Join KZA to learn about the 2023 guidelines that impact Otolaryngology providers.   We will:

• Build upon previous knowledge of the 2021 guidelines for Medical Decision Making and Time
• Review changes to Problems Addressed, Data, and Risk (aka Medical Decision Making elements) and Time that apply in all settings
• Demonstrate understanding of when to report consultation codes instead of other E/M codes to increase reimbursement when applicable
• Report E/M services with modifier 25 compliantly
• Distinguish the difference between the diagnostic endoscopy codes 31231, 31575 and 92511
• Describe the documentation requirements for using the cerumen removal code, 69210, and when an E/M code may be separately reported
• Apply E/M modifiers accurately
• Describe the telehealth guidelines changes allowed during the public health emergency
• Identify key requirements for “incident to”, direct and shared/split billing non-physician practitioners (NPPs)
