As palliative care clinicians know, the only constant is change. This axiom is especially true in 2023 as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have updated and streamlined documentation for care delivered in the inpatient, skilled nursing facility (SNF), assisted living, and home locations. There are MANY changes coming, and more than 90% of them will benefit hospice and palliative care clinicians.
In this talk, Dr. Chris Jones and Dr. Phil Rodgers will unpack many areas of the CMS billing and coding revisions. These include:
- Updates to time-based billing thresholds and when to count time in clinical encounters
- Decreased documentation burden in the history and physical exam sections of patient visit notes
- Review of the updated Medical Decision Making table published by the American Medical Association (AMA)
- Which billing codes will be deleted and which ones will remain
- How to use new prolonged services codes
- When other billing codes may better capture the time spent
We encourage palliative care clinicians, leaders, billers, and coders to join this presentation to learn how to save time and ensure you’re being paid for the work your team is doing!
