Coding for Social Drivers of Health: Good for Patients BUT Things Have Changed in 2026 Three Hour Session Presented by: Karen Scott, MEd, RHIA, CCS-P, CPC, FAHIMA and Donna Pendergrass, MD CPPM CPCO CDEO

Coding for Social Drivers of Health: 
Good for Patients BUT Things Have Changed in 2026

Three Hour Session

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

The CMS Fee Schedule for 2026 CHANGE THE DEFINITION of the code for SDOH Screening so beware!  The screen is entirely different.

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:               Friday NOV 6

Time:               1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.          

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

**This course is open only to participating MetroCare Physicians members and their staff. 3 hour CEUs will be available.
