Description
Many physician offices are confused about the correct way to bill these types of services and the documentation necessary to support billing. They are significantly different and billable in different settings. Incident has existed for many years, whereas shared care is a more recent CMS billing opportunity. Current CMS changes to their shared care policy have added to the confusion.
Reduce the risk for audits. Paybacks and possibly by billing correctly. Findings of incorrect billing on a payer audit can lead to future pre and post-payment reviews, contributing to reimbursement delays. This Webinar will explain the changes for 2024 and identify documentation requirements for shared and incident care.

Areas Covered
Background
