LV-Low Vision Coding and Billing 2023 - Lessons Learned
Description:
Providers continue to find it difficult and challenging to bill and code for low vision services. Low vision services are time intensive and require a thorough knowledge of appropriate and accurate coding. CMS finalized a number of coding and payment changes to reduce administrative burden and improve payment accuracy for 'Evaluation and Management' visits in the outpatient setting. This course will review the ICD/CPT codes for low vision and overall the lessons learned from ICD-10 and CPT-4 over the past few years. In order to survive audits, guidelines for the proper documentation of medical records will be discussed. Case examples will be utilized to explain the appropriate ways to code for low vision examinations and services.

AOA and AFOS: ‘Cut through the noise’ and empower licensed doctors of optometry to provide greater access to care to veterans
Eye care is the third-most requested health service by veterans at the VA—and doctors of optometry provide the majority of that care. Yet, as the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) considers new national standards of practice for more than 50 health professions at its facilities, optometrists are making a winning case for expanding their role at an understaffed VA and are galvanizing against baseless attacks from organized medicine, ophthalmology and a few unbending legislators.
3 coding questions cracked
Does Medicare allow you to bill fundus photos and an optical coherence tomography on the same day for two different diagnoses? The answer to this question, and more, from the AOA’s experts.
