Available ON-DEMAND

Presented on: Thursday, February 16, 2023

Presented by: John D. Settlemyer, MBA, MHA, CPC, CHRI

Medicare provides critical support for advances in medical technology through additional payments under the Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) and Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS). However, although these therapies are life-changing for patients, it can be complex to ensure new technology is compliantly and accurately billed and coded. Hospitals also struggle to ensure clinical departments are correctly setting up and capturing charges for these high-cost therapies.

During this 60-minute webinar, expert speaker John D. Settlemyer, MBA, MHA, CPC, CHRI, will explain the coding and billing rules for new technology in inpatient and outpatient settings. Settlemyer will share tips for setting up charges for codes and improving documentation, as well as correctly reporting billing information on claims. He’ll also discuss strategies to address operational challenges.

At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:

• Explain Medicare’s billing rules for new technology
• Describe charge structure and charge capture strategies for new technology
• Demonstrate methods to ensure compliance with Medicare’s rules and support accurate reimbursement
