Description:

CPT series 20,000 and 60,000 include numerous CPT sections regarding coding in spine surgery and many a time, one spine surgery case can involve a combination of different codes. These codes are imperative to be assigned for an appropriate reimbursement procedure regarding the services provided by an assistant or a co-surgeon. Therefore, it is essential to understand how a coding combination works and how a modifier is adequately used.

Besides, insurance carriers do not precede many of these claims by a computer but hand-code them by an insurance carrier representative. Also, operative reports and medical records can also be appealed before the claiming process by an insurance company. The session will help you learn the appropriate coding of these cases so that reimbursement to the provider(s) can be done swiftly. The benefit extends to acknowledging the attending in appealing the claims as and when the insurance companies improperly adjudicate the claims.
