About this title

Synopsis

Grider, a certified professional coder, shows medical assistants, medical insurance specialists, new medical office personnel, physicians, independent billing personnel, and other health care providers how and when to use modifiers with Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes to indicate that a service or procedure was modified in some way. She explains the purpose of modifiers, the relationship to the reimbursement process, logic trees related to usage, and how Medicare carriers and intermediaries vary on the use and acceptance of modifiers. Chapters are organized by modifier and illustrate proper and improper use through clinical examples. They include coding tips, American Medical Association and other guidelines, and exercises. Both code and subject indexes are provided. The CD-ROM contains exams, PowerPoint slides, and an answer key. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
