Advanced Coding Education Guide for Evaluation and Managment Auditing 2013 Decision Health 8.º edición

The Advanced Coding Education Guide for Evaluation and Management Auditing 2013 will help your practice code and document E/M services correctly, as well as develop protocols to handle ambiguity in the guidelines that work in your internal compliance plan - before an external audit occurs. And it ensures you'll be completely updated on code changes and revisions.

New for 2013: You'll find 251 revised and 151 new Category I codes in your CPT© 2013 manual. You'll also see that 100 codes have been deleted. In many instances CPT has added "qualified health care professionals" to a code's descriptor. These revisions are most evident in the E/M section of the manual.

Learn how this change could mean more opportunities for NPPs to direct-bill for more services in both the office and facility settings. More importantly, it may prompt non-Medicare payers to recognize NPPs and pay them directly for their services.

Also New for 2013: The E/M section contains seven new E/M codes. Next year you'll have codes for transport services (99485 - 99486), coordination of complex care (99487 - 99489) and transitional care management services (99495 - 99496). All of the new E/M codes are time based.
