Using Modifiers to Improve Claim Accuracy

How is your confidence level when applying modifiers? An audit letter might make you second-guess yourself. Federal, state and private payers report that incorrect use of modifiers is among the top reasons for billing errors. Don’t lose revenue because of modifier misuse, non-use or just to bypass CCI edits!

Modifiers help document the complete patient story and they help providers report special circumstances with patients. This class will provide examples such as when billing for a separately identifiable EM service on the same day as minor surgery. Learn the categories and correct use of modifiers including the four HCPCS modifiers established by CMS to define subsets of the -59 modifier. Get tools and tips to help decrease rejects or denials that occur due to lack of a modifier. *Current year CPT and HCPCS manuals are required for this class. UM-0516
