Contains 6 Component(s), Includes Credits
Insurance companies use different methods and policies in determining claims processing based on coding guidelines and medical necessity. CMS created the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) to promote national correct coding methodologies and to control improper coding leading to inappropriate payment. Today, multiple parts of the NCCI edits play a role in payment or denial of Medicare claims. In addition, many commercial insurance payers also have implemented these edits in their own reimbursement systems. With an understanding of the edits and how to apply them, denials can be corrected for timely reimbursement, which is critical because insurance carriers allow corrections and reconsiderations for only a specified time after the date of service or original filing date. This 90-minute webinar will discuss the NCCI edits so OMSs and their staff can apply them during billing and coding or when resolving denials. Code: WCW241009R

Oral and maxillofacial surgery procedures may be submitted to medical insurance, dental insurance, or both– each with distinct coverage, benefits, and billing requirements, including code sets. Accurate coding and billing submission are essential to ensure proper reimbursement and avoid delays or denials. This 90-minute webinar will examine medical and dental coding with a focus on crosswalks for services such as implants, grafts, and anesthesia. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how to select the appropriate codes and submit to each type of insurance accurately. Code: WCW251112R
