Billing and Coding accurately for upper and lower GI endoscopic procedures has a direct effect on your compensation. CPC Unlimited offers the coding and reimbursement strategies necessary with navigating the complex landscape of GI Billing and Coding and obtaining maximum reimbursement.
With the insurance industry today, the Gastroenterologist and/or staff face extensive billing and coding challenges. Many of these challenges include; colorectal cancer screenings vs. colonoscopies, motility and GI function studies, claim delays for ERCP procedures, documenting proper levels of Evaluation and Management Services, category III codes for treatment of GERD, applying the use of proper modifiers
-51, -59, & -26
...and that's just probing the surface!
The most important aspect today is protecting you and your practice with Proper Documentation.
Proper documentation is imperative to protect you and your practice. Any insurance company you contract with has the right to audit your charts to ensure your documentation supports the procedures billed. If your documentation does not support what was billed to them, they can re-coup what they paid you along with penalties and interest. This can add up fast and become very costly!
Remember - "NOT Documented = Can't Prove it Occured"
You’re busy enough being a doctor, your staff is buried in paperwork and now the fight for your money has become
quite tedious.
