Description

Orthopedic surgery is becoming more complicated as prior authorization and medical necessity continue to increase in demand among insurance companies. Coding these cases is critical to obtaining the proper reimbursement for the procedures performed. This webinar will look specifically at shoulder arthroscopy and the elements that make the coding more complicated than arthroscopy performed in other body areas. We will also look at how these cases should be reimbursed based on endoscopic payment rules, and how you can make sure insurance companies are following the current editing rules they claim to be following. One other thing, 2021 CPT® came with code revisions that affect shoulder arthroscopy that attendees need to know to ensure their providers are documenting what is required.
