The Board of Medical Specialty Coding present:

Core Coding Competencies in Home Care Coding:
The complexities
Audio Conference  • Thursday, November 1, 2007 • 1:00- 2:30 p.m. ET

January is almost here, not only do you have to adjust to the seasons but you also have to adjust to the PPS changes that are effective January 1st! To ensure reimbursement, you have to master core skills and competencies to code accurately. You could be at risk for losing money that your agency is entitled to.

Attend this exclusive audio presentation led by top home care coding authority Lisa Selman-Holman and master core coding competencies. Get help with:

• M0245 and M0246 – Never before has M0246 been used for payments, don’t worry because Lisa will explain how to use these codes under the new ruling.
• V Codes – Some need a secondary diagnosis code, some do not. Plus, Lisa will eliminate confusion surrounding V57.1 and why it can never be secondary!
• Sequencing – make sure you are reimbursed the right amount of money.

Lisa will also help you:

• Prioritize diagnoses based on clinical assessment and planned interventions
• Apply sequencing rules as required by the Official Coding guidelines
• Reduce the risk of an audit
• Bill Abnormality of Gait (and all other V codes) correctly
• Determine the impact of the PPS changes and how they will impact the Case Mix
