Each year there are updates to some of the most critical parts billing and coding by means of CPT® and the Medicare Physicians Fee Schedule. In 2022 there were major changes to the way in which therapy services by assistants were reported and there is still some confusion on when modifiers have to be assigned to procedures involving assistants. Each year there are also possible updates to the Medicare policies for therapy with new threshold limits and the annual “always therapy” listing that also requires the use of modifiers.
This webinar will look at the issues for 2022 retroactively as well as those for 2023. 2022 had some major changes in therapy related to therapy assistants and we need to assess the use of assistants now that we should have been reporting their involvement with modifiers for the last year. Our expert speaker will talk about the Physicians Fee Schedule Final Rule for 2023 along with the annual therapy update and any other CMS changes.
