Description
Knowing and understanding the coding changes for 2024 denials and delays in claims processing by insurance companies that hold up reimbursement will be avoided, and the office cash flow will be maintained. It is the provider's responsibility to know and understand the coding changes. Insurance companies normally give little to no education for the annual code changes unless they create or revise a current policy based on medical necessity, prior authorization, and coverage.
The entire staff of an office should understand services and procedures, as well as the needed documentation for compliance.
