Mastering New Codes, Telehealth Guidelines, and Advanced Care Management Services for Optimal Compliance and Reimbursement
Medicare released the final rule for changes to the physician fee schedule for 2025. For 2025 it includes several new codes as well as updated and new information on old codes. Join us for this information-packed webinar, where industry expert Jill M. Young, CEMA, CPC, CEDC, CIMC will share the information found in the final rule that was released in early November. There were several areas of telehealth that were discussed in the final rule, including supervision via audio/video and audio-only methods. Certain codes that are eligible for telehealth use have received levels of supervision on a permanent basis. Other areas that will see the requirements for supervision change are for private practice physical therapists for their PTA and OTA. The complexity add-on code that was made available for payment in 2024 has some updated guidelines and is now a sister-type code in a complexity code for speciality-trained infectious disease physicians. Jill will also share an overview of information on new codes for Caregiver Training and Advanced Primary Care Management Services.
