The InHealth
Professional Services Professional RBRVS Reference
When billing surgical procedure codes, have you
ever wondered whether you should attach a modifier for multiple procedures,
bilateral procedures, assistant surgeon, co-surgeon, and team-surgery? Put the
wrong modifier and you may lose reimbursement. Don't use a modifier, when it's
needed, and the code may be denied without payment. The InHealth Professional
Services Professional RBRVS Reference will give you the answer
quickly. This book will give physicians and their staff members a concise
reference to use for billing procedures according to Medicare rules as defined
in the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. Use this book as a quick reference for
your most common billing questions. We include nearly 10,000 physician services
and:
- Component relative value
units (RVUs) for each code - Work, Non-Facility Practice Expense, Facility
Practice Expense and Malpractice Expense
- A chart to help you
determine the physician supervision requirements for diagnostic testing
- Status indicators to
show whether a code is in the Medicare fee schedule and whether it is
separately payable if the service is covered
- Various payment policy
indicators needed for payment adjustment for each code - for example, payment
of assistant at surgery, team surgery, bilateral procedures, co surgery and
multiple procedure billing
- A chart to help you
determine the endoscopic base code to calculate Medicare's reimbursement for
endoscopic procedures
- Global Days, so you will
know when to bill E/M codes (and other services) after the follow-up period of
a procedure. You'll know quickly whether you may start billing the next day,
after 10 days or after 90 days
