Coding skin procedures in dermatology, family practice and urgent care

From: February 21, 2019

To: February 21, 2019

Sponsored by CodingIntel

Many practitioners would rather do a skin procedure than code for the service. Skin procedures aren’t just a staple of Dermatology, though. Family physicians and clinicians in Urgent Care Centers also do these.

This webinar will tell coders and practitioners how to document and code biopsies, including the new 2019 CPT biopsy codes, destruction of benign and malignant lesions, and repairs. It includes specific examples of how to bill for multiple procedures with the correct modifiers, and when to use modifier -51, -59 and -58.

Learning objectives

After the session, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the required documentation elements for these procedures
  • Know when to use destruction codes from the integumentary chapter and when to use codes from other chapters
  • What modifier to use for multiple procedures

“My organization approached Betsy Nicoletti because we had providers failing coding audits.

Betsy’s name is out there in the coding world as a leader in the field and wanted the best for our providers.

Betsy works with the organization to set up webinars for our new provider on boarding training process (which according to them has been most beneficial), as well as subsequent auditing to ensure provider engagement and understanding.

Betsy’s one on one approach has helped the organization overall by the specialized attention to our specific needs.

I appreciate Betsy’s tactful approach with the providers to lessen their concerns as it relates to proper coding. She is up to date on all of the current changes in coding and maintains the communication whenever warranted.

Overall I have found the experience of working with Betsy as positive and educational. I would not hesitate to recommend Betsy to any organization that needs to improve their coding practices and improve success rates from outside auditing.”
