You’ve got questions about how to appropriately document, code, and bill for diagnostic radiology test orders and we’ve got answers.
Orders for diagnostic radiology tests and the documentation required to code and bill these tests are crucial elements to proper reimbursement and compliance. Yet, it’s no wonder the topics of test orders and documentation confuse the most experienced healthcare professionals since determining who has the right to order an exam varies depending on facility and test.
CMS has specific requirements for not only obtaining orders for tests, but for how to maintain those orders. There are also rules for modifying test orders at the time of the exam. We show you how to use these guidelines to boost your bottom line. To illustrate these guidelines and concepts, our speakers will present case studies and answer frequently asked questions on 3D rendering, PET/CT, breast imaging, and ultrasounds.
You'll walk away with a solid understanding of the documentation process with examples.
