Incident to and shared care are specific CMS/Medicare billing policies. Some other payers may also follow these rules.
“Incident to” reporting for QHP and physician services has been around for many years, whereas shared care is a more recent CMS billing opportunity. Many physician offices are confused as to the correct way to bill these types of services and how they differ. CMS changes to their shared care policy has added to the confusion.
This webinar will explain the differences in the services and help physician coders and billers correctly report both types of services.
Why should you attend?
Reduce the possible risk for audits and paybacks by billing correctly. Findings of incorrect billing on a payer audit can lead to future pre and post payment reviews, which can contribute to delays in reimbursement.
