With all of the changes, HIPAA rules and regulations, and the constant possibility of audits; the physician just can't take a chance of not knowing what is needed to be compliant in the coding and billing of services. This course is designed to help determine what is needed for effective and efficient documentation, when to use modifiers, and how to not "unbundle" services.
The key to a good practice is having a compliance plan in place. Physicians will learn about the resources needed to create a successful compliance program and about the key elements needed to do so. They will also learn about the Office of Inspector General (OIG) Work Plan for 2004. This gives you a heads up on the services that could be targeted in the New Year's audits so you can be prepared.
