      Advanced Coding Workshop for 2020 - 2021 Services (Click for more details)
      Location: Southern Hemisphere III
      This workshop is free to anyone attending the Conference (excluding Industry) and we highly encourage you to attend. Consistent findings have shown that newer CPT codes for E&M services are significantly underutilized and misunderstood by practices. This finding, combined with the changes introduced for 2020, and the major changes for 2021, prompted the need for this workshop. There are approximately 40 new service codes for oncology. This year there has been big departure by CMS from the traditional E&M 1 -5 levels. The new emphasis is on workflow, coordination, communications, virtual communications, and by different members of the care team. Most practices have not revised their workflows or procedures to identify and document key services. The changes are BIG, and teams that have pursued the adoption and implementation of these codes report that implementation will not be quick.
