In college, therapists and assistants get very little education and training in the business and compliance aspects of outpatient physical, occupational, and/or speech therapy services. If they do, it is usually limited to the basics of CPT coding, documentation, and perhaps, some billing. This webinar will focus on topics that “veteran” therapists and assistants as well as recent graduates may not know and/or completely understand. This webinar will discuss the following topics:

  • How does CMS determine the payment for each CPT code
  • How is the multiple procedure payment reductions applied and how does it impact your payment
  • CQ and CO therapist/therapy assistant modifiers
  • When to and when not to issue an advance beneficiary notice of noncoverage (ABN)
  • How does the annual Medicare Part B deductible impact the annual therapy threshold
  • Explain which Medigap plans cover the annual Part B deductible and 115% limiting charge for nonparticipating providers
  • Describe how Medicare Advantage (MA) plans reimburse therapists who are not enrolled in the MA plan
  • Recite when you can bill Medicare for outpatient therapy for a Medicare beneficiary in hospice
  • Differences and benefits of enrolling as a participating provider vs a nonparticipating provider in Medicare
  • Qualified Medicare Beneficiary Program
