With Medicare and third-party payer policy and coding changes taking effect in 2023—some with significant potential reductions in payment for surgeons—it is imperative that surgeons and their coding staff have accurate and up-to-date information to protect reimbursements while optimizing efficiency. 

The course includes sessions on hospital evaluation and management (E/M) and critical care coding, Thursday, August 3, 1:00–5:00 pm, and general surgery coding, Friday, August 4, 8:00 am–4:00 pm.

Session #1: Reporting Hospital E/M Codes and Split/Shared and Critical Care Services Course

Topics covered will include E/M codes for inpatient/facility, major changes in CPT code selection, and major changes to Medicare’s billing rules for both split/shared services and critical care.

Session #2: General Surgery: Revenue and RVU Optimization Course

Topics covered will include the revamped abdominal hernia codes (e.g., the use of the same CPT codes for both laparoscopic and open procedures, and basing codes on the total size of the hernia). In addition, this session will cover coding for endoscopy, colorectal, and breast, among other procedures.
