2023 Radiology Coding Update

2 Continuing Education Units

For 2023, you’ll definitely want to hear Cathy Huyghe’s take on the significant changes coming to coding for both diagnostic and interventional radiology and understand where the risks and pitfalls lie. Even though there are not a massive number of changes, Radiology is always a high-risk area when it comes to coding and documentation. Your practice cannot afford to enter the new year with outdated or incomplete information as the government does not give grace periods when it comes to coding.

In this webcast, you’ll get in-depth guidance through all the changes: what they are, how they impact your facility and how to apply them. Cathy will walk you through strategies to prevent miscoding and noncompliant billing. Do not miss this once-a-year opportunity to maximize your radiology reimbursements and solidify your regulatory compliance!

What’s on the agenda:

• Creation of Category III codes along with parenthetical directives
