CodeCast | Medical Billing and Coding Insights
The 2021/2023 E/M guideline revisions read: “The evaluation and/or treatment should be consistent with the likely nature of the condition.” Before this, the CPT® guidelines did not discuss medical necessity. Guidance was left to the payers, particularly Medicare, via the Social Security Act. CMS’s guidance doesn’t necessarily hold regulatory authority. However, it often reflects a new, shared understanding that medical services reported should meet documentation standards for level selection. Those standards should also appropriately indicate why the patient is visiting the provider, based on the presenting problems. This episode of the CodeCast echoes Terry’s insights that auditors, coders, and medical professionals focus on medical necessity first, then look to coding.

More medical claims denials could be avoided if coders took the extra minute to make sure that the diagnoses that need to be linked to a specific line item were pre-billed. Also, when billing for diagnostic procedures on a complaint that moves to a minor, therapeutic, or surgical procedure, denials will happen when the diagnosis for the latter procedure is not updated. Terry covers all the issues with denials that can be avoided with a careful step back.

See page 12 of CPT® under independent interpretation, the last sentence. “A test that is ordered and independently interpreted may count as both a test ordered and interpreted. ” Suppose you bill for the professional and technical components, meaning you are billing for the test ordered. In that case, you can’t double dip or get additional credit for the order, the review, or a professional interpretation. You can get credit for ordering a test and for an independent interpretation, as long as your documentation meets the criteria for what an independent interpretation is.

Some coders remain confused about Medically Unlikely Edits (MUEs) — but that’s about to change. In this episode, Terry discusses denials from Part B MACs for what you may think is an undetermined reason. However, a possibility is running up against MUEs. The edits, which are designed to prevent over-payments caused by serious billing errors, often confuse even veteran coders. Terry uncovers the truth about four aspects of these edits to ensure you’re not letting MUEs wreak havoc on your practice’s coding and reimbursement efforts.

The Electronic Medical Record (EMR) has many benefits over handwritten entries in a paper chart. EMR entries are always legible, dated, and timed. Patient information can be available at the point of care and remotely. Some EMR systems include computerized physician order entry and decision-support tools to improve patient care and safety. However, recent audits reflect that CDI can be compromised when copy-paste or pull-forward information is not updated or reviewed.

When auditing Annual Wellness Visits (AWV), is the concept still the same as preventive exams concerning modifier 25? The AWV does not include managing medications or managing conditions. However, the rules need to see medical necessity for the E/M on the same date with a -25 modifier. Remember, patients do not have a share of cost of AWV’s so if you add an E/M it comes out of their pocket too. Terry also adds more commentary for the audio-only Telehealth rules for 2025.
