Medicine is now widely viewed as a business, and there is a focus on increasing revenue and maintaining a profit margin. As physician reimbursements fall, many physicians have looked to other areas to increase their revenue. Ancillary studies during this time have seen a surge in their performance and billings to compensate for falling fees.
 
This webinar will review several ancillary procedures and studies particular to urology and their proper coding and billing to ensure correct reimbursements. Didactic teaching and clinical examples will be presented throughout the conference to bring to light a clearer understanding of coding and billing for these ancillary services in urology. All urology offices or departments should consider providing certain ancillary services to help manage patients and hope to raise revenue when payments have fallen.

• Shifting procedures from hospital to office place of service, POS
• Office pathology billing
• Office Botox billing
• Coding for Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation, PTNS
• Coding for Office cystoscopy, biopsy, and TURB, when to bill each?
• Testopel coding
• Biofeedback billing, and many more ancillary procedures for correct coding and billing

Urologists, pediatric urologists as well as urogynecologists should attend. RNs, coders, billers, and all staff involved in the performance, coding, billing, authorizing, and posting of these ancillary services should also attend.
