Medicare Global Periods Explained in Under 10 Minutes
In this video, I delve into the concept of global period surgical packages and the essential resources you need to understand them. I explain the different types of global periods-0, 10-day, and 90-day-detailing what services are included and how to handle billing for unrelated procedures during these periods. I also cover the use of specific modifiers to indicate exceptions and how to manage situations where the surgical package is split between providers. Understanding these intricacies is crucial for accurate billing and appropriate reimbursement.

    • @ContempoCoding
      @ContempoCoding 3 дня назад

      CPT code 54150 is for a circumcision, using clamp or other device with or without a dorsal slit. Since the dorsal block is not performed, you wouldn't use a separate code or modifier just because it was omitted. 54150 already accounts for circumcision with or without the use of a dorsal block. Therefore, it would still be the correct code to use in this situation.

    • @ContempoCoding
      @ContempoCoding 4 дня назад

      Thanks for sharing your concerns. It's understandable to worry about AI in the medical coding field. However, it's important to remember that AI, like Maverick AI, is designed to assist and enhance the work of medical coders, not replace them. The technology helps automate certain aspects of the coding process, reducing the burden of repetitive tasks and allowing coders to focus on more complex cases that require human expertise and judgement. Moreover, the introduction of AI in the field opens up new opportunities for coders to upskill and work in areas like AI supervision, quality control, and more. So, rather than viewing AI as a threat, we can see it as a tool that can make our work more efficient and rewarding. Hope this helps alleviate some of your concerns! 😊

      Congratulations on completing the Preppy program! Transitioning into a new field can be challenging. I recommend leveraging your radiology experience by highlighting your transferable skills, such as medical knowledge, attention to detail, and familiarity with healthcare systems. Networking can also be crucial -- connect with professionals in the field through your local AAPC chapter.
