Description

Critical care coding isn’t just about time at the bedside. In this new episode of Compliance Conversations, CJ Wolf and Maya Turner discuss how recent CPT® guidance expands what’s billable, from telehealth consults to pre-arrival care coordination. 

Key Takeaways: 

  • When critical care starts (and where it doesn’t) 
  • CPT® vs. CMS Guidance— and what happens when they differ 
  • How to handle transport, telehealth, and overlapping E/M services 
  • Ways to help providers feel recognized — even when the answer is “no” 

Here is a link to the OIG audits referenced in the episode. 

You can read Maya’s book, Billable: The Revenue Cycle Professional's Guide to Branding, for more insights.
