Once again this year, Medicare’s Incident-to billing can be found on the OIG workplan. Are you billing your incident-to services correctly? Attend this teleconference and you will feel satisfied that you know the difference between a split/shared visit and incident-to services. The speaker will also discuss direct supervision requirements, when 99211 should be billed, how to effectively use scribes and much, much more!

Conference number will be determined later.

Although Medical Necessity is the ultimate driver of an E&M service, it's the medical record documentation that determines whether an E&M code accurately represents the care provided. It is estimated that over 80 percent of primary care services are E&M encounters. Increased scrutiny by all payers has resulted in the need to take a closer look at our documentation. WPS Medicare Part B has provided us with some of the most common E&M documentation errors they see during the medical review process. During this interactive session we will use both the 1995 and 1997 documentation guidelines to examine these common errors and provide solutions ensuring your documentation is rock solid.
<br />
<br />Attend this seminar to increase your understanding of the E&M coding nuances and leave knowing your physicians documentation supports the level of service billed.
