With appropriate training from an accredited education program, professional medical billers and certified medical coders navigate these issues every day as part of their workday routine. It is a rewarding career, and it is an essential part of the healthcare industry. Medical billing and medical coding are based on the Healthcare Common Procedural Coding System (HCPCS), the foundation of how medical claims are submitted to commercial health insurers and government healthcare programs. The Healthcare Portability and Protection Act of 1996 (HIPPA) mandated that all healthcare claims be reported using HCPCS. Medical billers ensure that all healthcare claims are compliant with HIPPA through the accurate application of medical codes based on the documentation in the patient’s medical record, and based on the standards established by HCPCS.

NCCI was established to prevent fraud and abuse of the Medicare system by preventing improper payments for services. Medical billers with the proper training understand that HCPCS Level I codes are used to bill Medicare, a government health insurance program that covers 48 million Americans, who make up a large percentage of any healthcare facility’s patient population. Understanding the use of HCPCS Level I codes is essential for professional medical billers to obtain maximum, legal reimbursement for their employers. CMS reviews the guidelines the AMA uses to define CPT codes, then it establishes coding methodologies and policies that promote correct coding on a national scale. Because of the number of healthcare claims processed and paid by the Medicare Part B program, NCCI policies have been in place since 1996 to ensure that only appropriate claims are paid.

A coder may assign more than one diagnosis code on a patient visit. ICD-10 diagnostic codes fall under two systems:
Treatment codes describe the treatment or services performed on the patient to address their condition. There are two treatment code levels defined by the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS):
Medical coders use modifiers when a procedure has been performed differently than described in the standard five-digit code. Modifiers usually indicate one of the following variations:
If one of these situations occurs, coders add a two-digit alphanumeric modifier to the code. For example, the code might be 99203 for an initial office visit, while 99203-57 describes an initial office visit with a decision for surgery.

What are CPT codes
Developed by the AMA, the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes are vital in billing medical services, as well as the procedures for their reimbursement. Providers of medical services (physicians, hospitals, laboratories, outpatient facilities, non-physician practitioners, and allied health professionals) use these codes to describe and report services and procedures to private and federal payers. Through its CPT Editorial Panel, the American Medical Association (AMA) maintains and annually updates the list of CPT codes. These codes include five characters which are typically numeric, but some of them include a fifth alpha character. There are three categories of CPT codes:
- Category I: Five-digit codes that include descriptions of a procedure or service (most CPT codes are in this category)
- Category II: Supplemental alphanumeric tracking codes referring to performance evaluation or clinical services with no relative value
- Category III: Temporary codes assigned to tracking the efficacy of emerging and experimental technologies, procedures, and services
Category I CPT codes are divided into six main sections:
- Evaluation and Management: 99201 – 99499
- Anesthesia: 00100 – 01999; 99100 – 99140
- Surgery: 10021 – 69990
- Radiology: 70010 – 79999
- Pathology and Laboratory: 80047 – 89398
- Medicine/Medical Services and Procedures: 90281 – 99199; 99500 – 99607

Through its CPT Editorial Panel, the American Medical Association (AMA) maintains and annually updates the list of CPT codes. These codes include five characters which are typically numeric, but some of them include a fifth alpha character. There are three categories of CPT codes:
- Category I: Five-digit codes that include descriptions of a procedure or service (most CPT codes are in this category)
- Category II: Supplemental alphanumeric tracking codes referring to performance evaluation or clinical services with no relative value
- Category III: Temporary codes assigned to tracking the efficacy of emerging and experimental technologies, procedures, and services
Category I CPT codes are divided into six main sections:
- Evaluation and Management: 99201 – 99499
- Anesthesia: 00100 – 01999; 99100 – 99140

Verify if the CT enterography was performed on the abdomen, pelvis, or both (abdomen/pelvis) and whether or not contrast was intravenously administered or not. The oral contrast is not a factor for code decision in this case. In January of 2011 CT abdomen and pelvis (with 74177, without 74176, and with and without 74178 contrast) was added to the CPT code book. Look through the report to verify the location and whether or not IV contrast was used.References:

In January of 2011 CT abdomen and pelvis (with 74177, without 74176, and with and without 74178 contrast) was added to the CPT code book. Look through the report to verify the location and whether or not IV contrast was used.References:

Knowing your state laws and payer rules is important in this instance. (See resources for AAP fact sheet on coding for telehealth services and help in navigating your state laws on telehealth services.) Advocacy and payment
The AAP is monitoring health plan carrier uptake of the new Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Level II codes: U0001 and U0002. Per CMS, the Medicare claims processing system will be able to accept this code for payment as of April 1 for dates of service on or after Feb. 4, 2020. The Academy sent inquiries to the largest national carriers (Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Humana and UnitedHealthcare) to ascertain their coverage policies.

No matter what form is used dr still need to enter progress notes (most dr choose dictation/transcription process) **some may be outsourced, others in house*
What are clinical templates and what do they allow? structured form (progress notes) that allows dr's to document pt encounters into an EHR, once it is entered it must be INTEROPERABLE: must be able to exchange info and use it in a meaningful way, therefore clinical standards are important to the details of pt info
Types of Clinical Standards
-CLINICAL VOCABULARIES- set of common definitions for medical terms, they ease communications by decreasing ambiguity
-SNOMED-CT- clinical vocabulary designed to encompass all terms used in medicine
-LOINC- terms and codes used for electronic exchange of lab results and clinical observations
-UMLS- thesaurus database of medical terms
What are CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMS? they organize terms into categories for easy retrieval, they are used for billing and reimbursement, statistical reporting and admin functions
