Practical marketing for a successful clinical IR practice

Abstract

information required for accurate ICD-10-CM coding and the ways in which the required documentation differs from ICD-9-CM using examples specific to IR. We will also present strategies to improve accurate CPT and ICD-10 coding, including communication with coding teams and a structured template for E&M notes. A sample template which has been developed to be helpful to referring colleagues and professional coders while incorporating the requirements of the CPT codes for billing purposes will be included. Conclusions: Appropriate documentation of E&M services helps form relationships with referring physicians and can increase revenue at a time when reimbursement for procedures continues to decline. Accurate ICD-10-CM and CPT coding can be achieved through a better understanding of the terminology requirements, collaboration with coding teams and use of templates. References 1. CDC.
