SESSION SUMMARY AND SPEAKER INFORMATION

2023 Speaker Bios

 

8:00 – 9:00 am   Keynote

Keynote: Winning Together!

Speaker: Dustin Dale

Description: This keynote will focus on self-care but also the "self-care" as a team. This message will inspire the members to see that a team can create and work towards strong goals, and when rallied together, they can deliver the best results!

9:15 am- 10:15 am   1st Breakout

E&M: Key up the Focus to Complexity and Risk

Speaker: Shannon DeConda, CPC, CEMC, CEMA, CPMA, CRTT

Description: Prior to the new E&M guidelines, AMA CPT did not reference medical necessity. The Claim Process Manual was our main point of reference for statement: "Medical necessity is the overarching determining factor". While 2021 Documentation Guidelines uses 2 key components of time and MDM, the guidelines came armed with references of medical necessity littered throughout inferring that maybe it's NOT always just 2 or the 3 key components. Let’s consider medical necessity

Description: The best way to validate the appropriate use of the 25 modifier is by analyzing the documentation for 2 simple criteria: Was the E&M service separate from the procedure and was it significant. This training will work through these rules with a straightforward approach and with redacted patient encounters so that attendees walk out with a clear understanding of the 25 modifier.

 

Remote Patient Monitoring Documentation
