Ms. Ellis
The second portion of the session will be with Nancy Ellis, MBA, MHA, CHE, CRHC, CRMS, CPMA, practice administrator for Piedmont Arthritis Clinic and past president of the National Organization of Rheumatology Management. She will share her perspectives on coding for accurate reimbursement, especially to alert practices to coding errors that could be impacting their practice, such as defaulting to unspecified codes. “This may seem harmless, but more and more payers are putting billing edits in place to possibly deny those claims,” Ms. Ellis cautions.
She will also discuss how a practice can invest in ongoing training and certifications for their coders. “There are so many changes that can happen, it is imperative to have up-to-date information and well-seasoned coders.”
