OVERVIEW:

This program will focus on updating your chargemaster for 2020 and the new reporting requirements. The presenter will cover chargemaster opportunities to keep you “in the know” for current procedural terminology (CPT) and the healthcare common procedure coding system (HCPCS) coding revisions. As in previous years, subject matter experts anticipate that every ancillary department of the facility’s chargemaster will be impacted by the new coding changes. Discussion during this program will focus on required revisions, as well as strategies for department staff education. This is an all-day program focusing on successful implementation of the 2020 code changes and important insight from the OPPS Final Rule.  Do not forget to bring your 2020 CPT code book!
