CMS Proposed Rule for 2023

Format: On-Demand Webinar
Presenter: Jan Rasmussen, PCS, ACS-OB, ACS-GI
Duration: 60 minutes

Description:

 

Every summer CMS publishes its proposed new physician payment and coding change guidelines for the coming year. The proposed rule gives providers a chance to make positive or negative comments on their proposed changes. In some cases, provider comments can influence CMS to deviate from their original proposed guidelines. It is very important for providers and staff to know what is proposed in order to provide CMS with quality feedback. This year there are significant changes to EM services that will require a complete change in the way services are coded outside of the office setting.

  • Correct coding of EM services outside of the office setting
  • Will CMS’s new conversion factor for 2023 affect your bottom line?
