Electronic E/M Is Here: Earn Revenue for Virtual Consults, Visits, and Remote Monitoring

March 12, 2019

Sponsored by DecisionHealth

Effective January 1, CMS covers interprofessional consults performed by a specialist who does not see the patient; doctors and qualified healthcare professionals who create the related referrals or documentation reviews will be reimbursed for their work. In addition, CMS now covers “communications-based” check-ins that are conducted on the phone, through a practice’s portal, or via other telecommunication methods.

One of the nation’s largest health insurers has already adopted Medicare’s policies, and you can expect more payers to follow suit. In addition, Medicare will cover more remote physiologic monitoring codes (three new and one revised). However, the rules for the codes are tricky, and Medicare has promised to scrutinize utilization for signs that practices are improperly reporting these services.

Join expert speaker Betsy Nicoletti, CPC, for this 60-minute webinar to learn how to earn the revenue you’re due for these electronic E/M services. Also join Nicoletti at the end of the webinar for a live Q&A session!

At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:

  • Meet the documentation, coding, and reporting requirements for interprofessional consults, referrals, and documentation reviews (99446–99449 and 99451–99452)
  • Meet the documentation, coding, and reporting requirements for Medicare’s new virtual encounter and “store and forward” service (G2010 and G2012)
  • Understand the communication methods that are appropriate for the codes
  • Capture patient consent every time

“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.”
