The Ins-and-Outs of Critical Care Billing

This webinar is designed to help the audience understand the correct application of Critical Care guidelines from a CMS perspective. It will review the different code sets when billing for an adult critical care service versus billing a critical care service for a neonate or pediatric patient. You will also learn what services are bundled and identify common services that can be billed in conjunction with Critical Care services.

Why Should You Attend:

Many coders and physicians has encountered many challenges when trying to understand the documentation guidelines for Critical Care services and the correct code set to use.
