The number of patients requiring observation services will likely increase for many hospitals as they comply with the 2-midnight rule for inpatient admission. Because one false move impacts the entire revenue cycle from the point of care to management and billing, appropriately ordering patient status is critical. Learn to distinguish between covered and separately payable services and maximize key performance indicators to ensure optimal care and reimbursement.
Join us at 1 p.m. Tuesday, July 22, for the live 90-minute webcast Spotlight on Observation: Defining Services and Billing for Accurate Payment. The program will focus on how the new criteria for inpatient admission and its relation to observation services have changed how we think about hospital care that requires an overnight stay.
During this program, expert speaker Deborah K. Hale, CCS, CCDS, will review case studies that illustrate the impact of patient status on reimbursement. She’ll also cover common billing errors and strategies for achieving optimal reimbursement for observation services. Additionally, Hale will address the fundamentals of Part A to B rebilling and the use of condition code 44 to demonstrate compliant billing practices.
