Publisher Description:
The answers you need for correct coding and billing Many ultrasound providers run the risk of denied claims, possibly even auditor action, because of confusion over complex coding and billing rules. What is the correct CPTr code for an obstetrical vs. non-OB pelvic exam? Retroperitoneal vs. abdominal ultrasound? Complete vs. limited extremity ultrasound? Our Ultrasound Coder book answers these and many other questions, helping to ensure a smoother reimbursement process and a decreased risk of noncompliance. Highlights: * CPT codes, billing tips and coding guidance related to biopsy, aspiration, needle localization and vascular-access procedures * Clarification of correct coding for non-invasive peripheral duplex and Doppler vascular procedures, including ankle brachial index (ABI) assessments, and complete vs. limited abdominal/retroperitoneal scans * Detailed information related to coding for echocardiography (fetal and non-fetal) in the hospital and physician office setting * Updated information for 2014, including new codes for ultrasound-guided breast biopsy and for device placement; provides a clear explanation of what is included and when you should report primary vs. add-on codes * New section on key industry trends and Recovery Audit Contractor targets, such as the three-day payment window, pre-admission testing and covered services * New ICD-10-CM/PCS information, helping you prepare for the mandatory implementation on October 1, 2014 * Case studies addressing many common concerns pertaining to the application of CPT codes, plus a chapter devoted to answering many frequently asked questions * Appendices containing detailed information related to the ordering of additional diagnostic tests by the radiologist * Documentation examples for both obstetrical and non-OB procedures * At-a-glance tables with codes, modifiers, payments and descriptions CPTr is a registered trademark of the American Medical Association.
