“Unraveling the Mysteries of Split Billing” Webinar

The Region 2 Chapters will be hosting a FREE web-based presentation
Inappropriate billing and payer denials for services performed at hospital-based departments and clinics are a struggle for hospitals. These claims are closely reviewed by the Medicare and Medicaid Offices of Inspector General (OIG, OMIG) and increasingly for the Recovery Audit Contractors (RACs). Determining the appropriate type of bill (technical, professional or both) and which codes to bill on which claim impacts the financial reimbursement for the claim. Professional and technical hospital billing staff and coders must work together to ensure appropriate charging and billing for these services. This presentation will address some of the challenges facing hospitals today as they increasingly acquire professional practices as hospital-based clinics.
Take Away: Attendees will be provided complimentary access to an excel file (updated quarterly) organized by CPT®/HCPCS code that can be referenced to determine the appropriate billing status of each procedure.
Program Objectives:
  • Identify the risks surrounding billing for hospital-based departments
  • Determine whether a service should be billed professionally or technically or both
  • Apply basic regulatory indicators for making a determination
  • Explain how to analyze the impact of acquiring a hospital-based clinic
  • Discuss case studies and how to report them
