Feb Coding Webinar: Evaluation and Management Hot Topics and Critical Care

Join the Omega Healthcare Education Team as we focus on “Hot Topics” specific to physician E/M codes, critical care codes, prolonged E/M services and much more. Translating and deciphering physician documentation and coding guidelines into a CPT code(s) continues to be a challenge for physician coders and auditors. Our goal is to interpret the guidelines, provide documentation tips, and review several examples for clarification and understanding. This content will provide education that is valuable to coders and auditors in the physician arena.

Our Webinar goal is to assist physician healthcare professionals answer questions such as:

• What documentation supports Critical Care?
• What conditions affect Medical Decision Making?
• Where is Acute Complicated Illness found?
• Where are unstable Chronic conditions found?
• What qualifies for Acute complicated injury?
• What qualifies for high complexity?
• What does “Near Term” mean?
• Is Pregnancy considered Acute or Chronic?
• Which tests are counted in Category 1 data?
• What is Independent Interpretation?
• What qualifies for Prescription Drug Management?
• What qualifies for Intensive monitoring?
