The information in this course will benefit providers, office managers, consultants, and compliance officers, and includes information that can be referenced all year long. Downloadable course materials are included with helpful resource links for use beyond the course.
This intermediate-level course is best suited for those with knowledge of Medicare reimbursement. No additional resources are required.
Impacts to your reimbursement this year include a decrease in the conversion factor. The past sequester and the PAYGO rule will also have an impact on your reimbursement. Additional reimbursement considerations include the expiration of the temporary 3.75% boost provided by the Consolidation Appropriations act of 2021 (CAA). Providers could face significant cuts in payments this year and nearly all medical practices that bill Medicare should expect to feel the squeeze.
Get insight into the fate of telehealth services after the end of the public health emergency. You'll learn which codes will CMS continue to reimburse? They have retained Medicare Category 3 telehealth services, but how long will they pay for these services that appear on the list of temporary services? CMS intends for the home of a beneficiary to permanently qualify as an originating site and to lift geographic restrictions for mental health telehealth services, and even to allow the use of audio-only technology for certain mental telehealth services. What are the requirements for reimbursements for such services?
CMS plans to further delay penalties for the appropriate use criteria program for advanced diagnostic imaging services and to develop an accurate, stable payment rate for the administration of preventative vaccines under Medicare Part B. For the QPP, CMS will transition to digital quality measurement and improve the collection of social determinants of health data. Additions to the MIPS eligible clinicians list for 2022, a delay to optional MVP reporting, and continuation of the complex patient bonus will be discussed, as well as significant changes for shared services and critical care.
