- CLINICAL PROVIDER TRAINING WITH ARCHPRO CODING
Join ArchPro Coding from 12:00pm – 3:00pm for a billing and coding workshop catered to providers at the Omni Interlocken Resort during The Colorado Rural Healthcare Conference.
General Overview of Main Sections:
- Overview of Medical and Behavioral Health HIPAA-mandated Code Set Guidelines: CPT, HCPCS-II, ICD-10-CM
- RHC Billing Basics and Key CMS Resources
- Value-based Care and Quality Reporting Overview (ex. HEDIS, HCC, ACO Shared Savings, CPT-II)
- Evaluation & Management Documentation and Coding
- Documenting and Reporting Preventive Medicine Services
- Review of Monthly Chronic Care Management Options
- Compare/Contrast Telehealth & Virtual Communication Services
Target Audience:
ARCHPRO Coding strongly believes team-based training is key. Though the primary focus is to educate medical and
behavioral health clinical providers who document in medical records, please include facility leadership and revenue
cycle staff (i.e. coders and billers) so everyone can be organizationally aligned and build a shared platform of knowledge!
Objectives:
- Deliver an overview of AMA, CMS, and ICD-10-CM documentation, coding, reporting, and reimbursement issues that impact medical and behavioral health providers related to CPT, HCPCS-II, and ICD-10-CM codes.
- Outline the vital distinctions between clinical documentation protocols vs. professional coding rules vs. varying requirements of insurance payers vs. reporting accurate quality metrics (if required by payers).
- Identify solutions to the inherent limitations of EHRs, templates, and billing software with a goal to increase revenue, facilitate quality reporting, and decrease audit risk.
- Review the AMA’s E/M documentation guidelines with a focus on selecting the proper level of service based on time vs. medical decision making and the distinction between proper reporting of “Sick” and “Well” visits.
- Identify the CMS-covered Preventive Services including the Initial Preventive Physical Exam, Annual Wellness Visits, and additional covered preventive services Medicare and other payers will cover on a periodic basis.
- Review key areas of the “ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting” in the context of the revenue cycle and quality care reporting including Social Determinants of Health.
- Outline Care Management revenue options including Principal/Chronic Care Management, Transitional Care Management, Behavioral Health Integration, and the Psychiatric Collaborative Care Model.
- Compare/contrast traditional Telehealth vs. Virtual Communication Services.
