Description:-

Urodynamics have become a frequently performed ancillary procedure in many urology and urogynecology offices. There have been recent changes in the coding for these services which one must master to earn full reimbursements and to avoid claim denials or under payments. This audio-conference will teach attendees by through step by step  didactic presentations and urodynamic scenarios the most up to date and correct coding.

Points for Discussion:-

• Who can or should perform urodynamics?
• Locations where urodynamics can be performed.
• How to code for complete or partial urodynamics?
• How to bill for voiding films?
• Supervision required for performing urodynamics in the office.  
• How to bill for voiding bladder pressure studies?
• Which urodynamic studies have been combined into one CPT code?
• How to bill for urodynamics in hospital and for patients from skilled nursing facilities?
• How to avoid false claims when billing urodynamic services?
• How to bill individual urodynamic studies when they are bundled into one CPT code?
• The coding of alternative urodynamic studies.

Tools and Benefits the Presentation will Provide:- 

Basic and complicated urodynamic coding will be reviewed by the use of clinical examples, modifier use, and "add on" codes.

Who should attend this event? 

Urologists, gynecologists, urogynecologists and any specialty involved with bladder function and the use of urodynamics as a diagnostic tool. Coders, billers, and office staff wishing to enhance their knowledge of urodynamic coding will benefit from attending this conference.
