Optimal professional practice requires a working knowledge of current healthcare code sets, i.e., Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) and the International Classification of Diseases and Disorders, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM).

Participants will receive guidance to accurately use procedure codes (CPT) and diagnosis codes (ICD-10-CM) for claim submissions and payment. Guidance includes a discussion about billing multiple procedures for same date of service, an explanation of CPT coding for time-based and untimed SLP procedure codes as well as instruction for required modifiers and edits that provide coding clarification and accuracy.

Participants will also explore ICD-10-CM coding principles and policies relevant to ICD-10 codes commonly used by speech-language pathologists. Clinical scenarios will be presented to enhance understanding and application of information. Participants will receive a coding and payment update for 2023.

Learning Objectives
