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.

#Understanding the #Proper Use of #CPT 99204: The Most #Misused #MedicalCode CPT 99204 is one of the most commonly misused codes in medical billing. Properly utilizing this code can improve efficiency and compliance in medical practices. Here are three key points to keep in mind: 1️⃣ . **Criteria for CPT 99204** CPT 99204 is used for outpatient office visits for new patients that require a comprehensive history, comprehensive exam, and moderate complexity medical decision making. Ensure all criteria are met to justify its use. 🩺 **Tip:** Thorough documentation is crucial! Record detailed patient histories and exam findings to support the complexity of medical decision making. 2️⃣ . **Time Requirements** This code is also time-based. Typically, it represents visits lasting 45 minutes. Ensure the time spent is well-documented and corresponds to the services provided. ⏱️ **Tip:** Accurately track and note the time spent with each patient to avoid discrepancies and potential audits. 3️⃣ . **Avoid Upcoding** Upcoding, or billing for a higher level of service than was provided, can lead to serious compliance issues and financial penalties. Use CPT 99204 only when appropriate. 🚫 **Tip:** Educate your team about the correct usage of CPT codes to minimize errors and maximize practice integrity. By adhering to these guidelines, you can ensure accurate billing, reduce the risk of audits, and maintain compliance. #MedicalBilling #CPT99204 #HealthcareCompliance #MedicalCoding #PracticeManagement #trucarebilling

Documentation is Key in Supporting Modifier 25! The patient is seen for a routine physical exam and during that visit mentions a new problem to the physician. The physician must document the physical exam and the problem-focused E/M in a way that an auditor will be able to see each service within the documentation. The components of the routine physical exam cannot be counted toward the problem-focused E/M. The exam for the problem-focused issue should be appropriate for the complaint. Problem-focused E/M services are coded based on Time or Medical Decision Making (MDM). The Time or MDM for the new complaint should be concise and accurately documented to distinguish that exam from the routine physical exam. https://loom.ly/pDEDQL0

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!
