Why should you attend?
There are a lot of conferences and webinars for coding from CPT and ICD-10-CM, but this webinar is going to discuss tips on how to code from HCPCS. HCPCS is a HIPAA compliant manual. This webinar will explore understanding HCPCS codes so that the attendee will confirm that the correct code is chosen to avoid possible audits. HCPCS can be confusing because many items can fall under the same code, and sometimes supplies are included, but other time they are not. Attendees will get a full explanation and tips on how to use the HCPCS codes for proper payments of items and supplies.
