Participants will hear how a new clinical procedure makes its way into the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code set and onto the Medicare Physician Payment Schedule (MPPS) ready for coding and payment. The three components that comprise the total value for each CPT procedure (i.e., physician work, practice expense, and professional liability insurance) will be explained and the importance of each component for SLP scheduling and billing will be illustrated.
Participants will be introduced to relevant government payment policies applicable to speech-language pathology services including Therapy Threshold & Targeted Medical Review, Multiple Procedure Payment Reduction, and Advanced Beneficiary Notice of Non-Coverage. Clinical scenarios will be presented to enhance understanding and application of information.
