Did you know... The average CCM distribution is 93% for CPT 99490 alone, meaning only 7% is attributed to complex CCM codes, add-on codes, and G codes involving the SDoH. Complex CCM services, under CPT codes 99487 and 99489, involve moderate to complex clinical decision-making. With the best reimbursement rate updates for the whole CCM coding family in the CMS Final Rule 2024, it's important to note both the importance and positive effects of complex CCM on whole-person care. CareHarmony's distribution is spread far more evenly across CPT codes, with 45% dedicated to all codes mentioned above other than CPT 99490. Learn more about the underutilization of the codes below.

Modifier 59 is used in medical billing to indicate a "Distinct Procedural Service". It is applied to procedures or services that are separate and distinct from other services performed on the same day. Here are some guidelines on how to use modifier 59: 1. Use modifier 59 to bill for multiple procedures performed on the same day, but only if the procedures are truly separate and distinct. 2. The procedures must have different CPT codes and be performed at different sites or require different techniques. 3. Modifier 59 should not be used for procedures that are normally bundled together, such as an EKG and an echocardiogram. 4. Use modifier 59 with the CPT code for the additional procedure or service. 5. Make sure to support the use of modifier 59 with documentation in the medical record. Example: - CPT code 99213 (Office visit) + CPT code 11730 (Debridement) + modifier 59 This indicates that the debridement procedure was a separate and distinct service from the office visit. Remember to always check the specific payer policies and guidelines for the use of modifier 59, as they may vary.

#medicalbillingfacts #informative Some CPT(s) falls under Global Period Rule. They vary according to medical necessities of some procedures. Days of global period are as follows: 1: 0 Day(s). 2: 1 Day(s). 3: 10 Day(s). 4: 90 Day(s). For example, when billing for excision and repair codes i.e. CPT 11442, which is a excision code, has global period of 10 days. That means you can't bill another excision related code(s) within 10 days of global period. If there was a medical necessity and supporting medical records, then you can bill another excision code within the global period after appending modifier 24 with E/M code (if billed with excision code). Modifier 79 can also be billed if excision wasn't done at same site. Here at this point, DX codes play crucial role. Selecting the most suitable and valid DX is necessary for reimbursement.

The following resource provides the updated (as of October 2023) comprehensive list of CPT codes applicable to #physicalactivity related patient assessments, management, and follow up care. What are CPT codes? Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes are numbers assigned to each task and service that you can get from a healthcare provider. For example, a routine check-up or a lab test has a code attached to it. CPT codes are used to track and bill medical, surgical, and diagnostic services. Insurers use CPT codes to determine how much money to pay providers. The same CPT codes are used by all providers and payers to make the billing process consistent and to help reduce errors. https://lnkd.in/g7hRQa7a #CPTcodes #PhysicalActivity

Not bothered by prior authorization? Love having to spend time to justify tests and procedures to payers? Then move on to the next post. But most of you know it's a problem, to say the least. We know lots of efforts to minimize the burden but finally the American Medical Association CPT Editorial Panel is going to discuss "Establishing codes 99XX1, 99XX2, 99XX3 to report services (physician, QHP, Clinical Staff) related to Payor authorization of procedures" at their upcoming meeting. https://lnkd.in/g32RiqUK Getting the codes is a start to quantify the burden. Getting them paid is next. Then getting prior authorization abolished can be the ultimate goal. Tell the AMA to approve these codes!
