Coding for Social Determinants of Health: Good for patient care, quality measure outcomes, and E&M levels Three Hour Session Presented by: Karen Scott, MEd, RHIA, CCS-P, CPC, FAHIMA and Donna Pendergrass, MD CPPM CPCO CDEO

Coding for Social Determinants of Health: 
Good for patient care, quality measure outcomes, and E&M levels

Three Hour Session

Presented by: Karen Scott, MEd, RHIA, CCS-P, CPC, FAHIMA
                       and Donna Pendergrass, MD CPPM CPCO CDEO                                 

The final rule for the 2024 CMS Fee Schedule introduced new codes added to reimburse for screening as well as for coordination of services to address the Social Determinants of Health.

Commercial payers are also beginning to acknowledge that regardless of proper medical attention and prescribed treatment, circumstances in a patient’s life outside the control of the physician and the patient heavily influence a patient’s health and well-being. And evaluating your patient for these issues can affect E&M level selection.

Codes to indicate these harmful situations, whether environmental or economic or otherwise, allow for reporting of treatment failures, unexpected negative outcomes, and generally increased risk in patients who may have socioeconomic reasons for less than expected positive outcomes and higher cost.

 
Attention will be given to:

• Introduction and overview of social determinants
• Attention to codes currently available for reporting
• Influence on E&M level selection
• Available Screens and billing/revenue
• Local Resources for patient assistance

Dates:               February 23, 2024

Time:               9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.          

 Location:        Online only. Link will be emailed to registrant 1 day prior.
