Using
V57: Accurate Coding Strategies for
Home Health Therapy
Audio Conference • Wednesday, August
8, 2007 • 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. ET
Sweeping coding changes to the PPS case-mix
system will spell danger for unsuspecting coders who are fond
of placing a V57 code in the primary slot. Use this code wrong,
and you’ll
lose out on case-mix points, and risk downcoded claims, RHHI
scrutiny and data nightmares.
Find out how to continue proper therapy coding and protect your
agency when you join coding authority Lisa Selman-Holman as
she explains how new therapy thresholds for 2008 will impact
your coding, and how to code therapy services to ensure optimal
payment, quality clinical care and measurable outcomes.
She’ll provide plain-English guidance,
tools and practice scenarios that will help you master V57
and avoid costly errors, including:
- A complete overview of the therapy
thresholds and how they’ll impact coding and case-mix
weights;
- Whether (and when) V57 should be coded as primary (example:
when a post-CVA is referred to physical therapy for assistance
with ambulation); vs. coded as secondary
- How to identify whether physical therapy or occupational
therapy is primary when a patient with a healing fracture
receives both therapies in equal amounts;
- When to include a case-mix code in M0245 (and the new
M0246) to ensure full payment;
- Strategies to help you understand the
differences between 781.2 (Abnormality of gait), 719.7 (Difficulty
in walking) and 799.3 (Debility) – and hints on how
to know which code to use and when;
- Why using V57.1 can derail your agency’s
ability to analyze critical outcomes measures and other
business fundamentals;
- How and when to use V57.89, multiple or other therapies
