CPT® Category II: Coding for Quality and Value-Based Contracts

Course Description

As healthcare reimbursement continues to shift from volume to value, CPT Category II codes have become essential tools for demonstrating quality, improving patient outcomes, and maximizing reimbursement opportunities.

This comprehensive webinar provides coders, providers, auditors, compliance professionals, and revenue cycle leaders with practical guidance on understanding and implementing CPT Category II codes within modern value-based care programs. Participants will learn how these supplemental tracking codes support MIPS, HEDIS, Medicare Advantage Star Ratings, Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), and commercial payer value-based contracts.

Through real-world case studies, attendees will discover how accurate documentation and reporting can close care gaps, improve quality scores, reduce audit risk, and capture available incentive payments. The session also explores workflow integration strategies, modifier usage, common compliance pitfalls, AI-assisted coding considerations, and best practices for sustainable implementation.

Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to strengthen documentation, improve reporting accuracy, and position their organizations for success in today's performance-driven healthcare environment.
