In this episode, we are showing our support for primary care physicians and how we can help them improve documentation.Primary care physicians are the backbone of our healthcare system. They provide comprehensive health care services to patients and serve as the first line of defense against illness and disease. Unfortunately, primary care physicians often struggle to keep up with the mountain of documentation requirements required which means that their time spent with patients is diminished, resulting in less efficient patient care. That's why we are here today, to discuss ways that primary care physicians can improve their documentation without sacrificing the quality of their patient care. We will chat with our special guest, national speaker, and risk adjustment expert Christine Hall CHC (AAPC Instructor) CPC , CPB, CPMA, CRC, CEMC, CPC-I Let's break down HCC and documentation areas of concern to improve efficiency, and calculation of true patient risk and help improve the quality of care.

The Nuts and Bolts of Billing for Pharmacists' Services - Opportunities and Challenges

John Gums, PharmD, FCCP - Professor and Associate Dean for Clinical and Administrative Affairs - and Eric A Dietrich, PharmD, BCACP, CPC-A, CEMC, CPB - Clinical Associate Professor from the University of Florida College of Pharmacy talk with us about billing for pharmacy services. Key Lessons: A sustainable clinical practice model is formulated by creating a business plan that considers the services to be provided as well as reasonable estimates of the number of patient encounters, the duration for each patient encounter, billable revenues, collections, and costs. Evaluation and Management (EM) codes are used to bill services. The complexity of the patient encounter characterizes the "level" of service, ranging from level 1 (minimal complexity, self-limiting problem) to level 5 (High, Chronic Conditions, Severe Exacerbation, Disease Progression). Comprehensive medication management services provided by pharmacists are typically billed by a recognized provider (physician / nurse practitioner) using an "incident to" billing method. Pharmacists can also bill for transitional care management (TCM), chronic care management (CCM), and annual wellness visits (AWV) - but each of these services must meet specific conditions and requirements under Medicare Part B. Learning to speak the language of billers and coders is critically important. Consider training or certification through the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) There is a significant difference between what is billed and what is collected. Pharmacists should track their time, number of patient encounters, billable units of services, and collections to determine if their initial estimates are correct. When there are discrepancies, determine the sources and address the causes. Check out these guidelines and resources on how to develop a business-practice plan and bill for pharmacists' patient care services: American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) - Developing a Business-Practice Model for Pharmacy Services in Ambulatory Care Settings American Association of College of Pharmacy (AACP) - Integration of Clinical Pharmacy Faculty in Professional Practice Care Settings National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) - Billing Guidance for Pharmacists' Professional and Patient Care Services
