Description

Urodynamics has become a frequently performed ancillary procedure in many urology and urogynecology offices. There have been changes in the coding for these services which one must master to earn full reimbursements and to avoid claim denials or underpayments. This session will teach attendees step by step through didactic presentations and urodynamic scenarios the most up-to-date and correct coding.

Areas Covered:-

• Who can or should perform urodynamics
• Locations where urodynamics can be performed
• How to code for complete or partial urodynamics
• How to bill/code for voiding films with urodynamics
• Supervision required for performing urodynamics in the office
• How to bill for voiding bladder pressure studies alone
• Which urodynamic studies have been combined into one CPT code
• How to bill for urodynamics in hospital and for patients from skilled nursing facilities
• How to avoid false claims when billing urodynamic services
• How to bill individual urodynamic studies when they are bundled into one CPT code
• What studies can replace formal urodynamic studies and how to code them
• and much more...

Tools and Benefits:-

Basic and complicated urodynamic coding will be reviewed by the use of clinical examples, modifier use, and "add on" codes.

Who Should Attend?

Urologists, gynecologists, urogynecologists, pediatric urologists, and any specialty involved with bladder function and the use of urodynamics as a diagnostic tool. Coders, billers, and office staff wishing to enhance their knowledge of urodynamic coding will benefit from attending this conference.
