2020 Evaluation and Management Symposium: Virtual Conference
Presented Thursday, September 24, 2020
Summary
Audits began to ramp-up effective August 3, 2020 based on CMS’ notification. This mean Auditors at CMS and other private payors are dusting off their resource manuals. They’ve been a bit vague in the past regarding the highly subjective portions of Evaluation and Management Services, leading to potential denials of services or down-coding of services without proper cause. This session will focus on provider documentation and the “Medical Necessity” of the encounter - ensuring a Moderate or High-level Medical Decision Making is also supported. Get clear on when you can bill legitimately and confidently for higher-level services based on Moderate and High- Medical Decision Making. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from a regulatory and compliance professional working the front-line of audit appeal defense on a daily basis. Sean will share insights and identify steps and techniques used to successfully defend clients during a payor audit.
