PROGRAM DESCRIPTION


Billing, Coding, and Documentation in the Outpatient Setting provides important education plus a pocket resource (book) for ongoing use in the clinical setting. This video course, recorded in March 2021, provides essential information for NP students and practicing NPs about new mandatory billing and coding practices. The course provides details on 2021 changes in the selection of Evaluation & Management (E/M) codes. Make sure you are determining the level of your services appropriately in each and every patient encounter — this video course and companion book explain how.


The book included with the video course is titled Billing & Coding in the Outpatient Setting (APEA, 2022), and it was written by the course presenter, Kathy Baldridge, DNP, FNP-BC, FAANP.


Billing & Coding in the Outpatient Setting (copyright 2022) is a quick reference guide to significant changes in the Evaluation and Management (E/M) codes for inpatient office visits. These changes, which were the first by CMS in 30 years, have far-reaching impacts on daily documentation and clinical practice.


Billing & Coding in the Outpatient Setting was updated in September 2022 to incorporate a chapter on the Medicare Wellness Visit, a flow chart illustrating the process for determining the appropriate level of E/M service, and layout and organization improvements.


This book is a concise but comprehensive reference for the exam room and office. It's portable and packed with key points NPs need to provide accurate and comprehensive documentation that supports services rendered and justifies reimbursement for the fees submitted.


Book contents include:

  • Determining whether the visit is for a New or Established Patient
  • Determining whether the E/M code should be based on Medical Decision Making or Time
  • How to document appropriately and how to avoid common documentation pitfalls
  • Tips for reimbursement
  • Recommendations for credentialing in order to bill for services
  • Specific billing situations
  • Medicare Wellness Visit
