MTL Coding/Billing Reimbursement
I need help with the CPT code 96372 in Louisiana. I am trying to bill medicare for only the injection admin since the patient provided the medication. Is this possible?
Psychiatrist coding/billing
I have recently begun to code and bill for a psychiatrist in KY. The doctor for the most part only does a basic monthly office visit where he refills meds ect. He has a couple patients who get injections. Currently I am using the 99213 and 99214 for these visits. Is this correct coding for this type of office? And when billing for the Injection i am coding for the medication injected. Is this correct? All of the patients are either Medicare or Medicaid.
24 Years Experience, Seeking Remote Coding/Billing Position
I have been coding/billing for 24 years. I am a certified CPC through the AAPC. I have worked from home for the last 10 years. I find that I am so much more focused and more efficient while I am working in my quite home office. I am a very disciplined worker. I never give up on a claim. My main focus is to get my doctors paid for their services. I am a firm believer in open and honest communication with doctors and all other staff.
I am an expert on Family Practice and Internal Medicine coding. I also have experience in Dermatology, and OB/GYN coding.
I would love the opportunity to continue my career with a new company.
Please review my attached resume.
Thank you,
Marilyn Smith

Neurology General Coding/Billing & Billing for E/M, EEG, LP done same day in hospital
Am working in office for neurologist who does consultations in hospital. Was told only ICD-10 codes related to neurology should be listed on claim when billing CPT E/M Consult/Followup and Procedures codes for services provided to patients while in hospital by our doctor.
Question 1: Was informed we should first list the "admitting diagnosis" (not the "principal diagnosis") found on the hospital’s billing summary along with only the neurology codes listed. Does this sound right?
Question 2: Should we be listing ICD-10 codes for co-morbidities and/or complications that affect the neurologist’s treatment/medical management of patient? For example, patient has stroke and also has AFib. Shouldn’t we list the ICD-10 codes for both stroke and AFib?
Question 3: When a consult or followup are done on the same date of service as an EEG and/or lumbar puncture (spinal tap) as an inpatient, what modifiers should be attached to E/M and/or procedure codes for the neurology specialist performing them? Debating use of modifier 59 vs. XE when FUp, EEG, and lumbar puncture are done at different times on same date of service. Also, do we have to use HCPCS code AF on E/M or procedure codes to indicate specialist physician service as well as -59 or -XE modifier?
Any helpful advice/guidelines would be appreciated. Thank you.
Women in Medical Coding/Billing and HIM field generally- a gender ratio question
I’m so new to this field that I’ve only just completed my online course and will be sitting for the CPC in March and AHIMA’s CCA in April. Somehow until just a few weeks ago, it didn’t jump out at me just how women-centric this field appears to be. I’ve been trying to find research papers that might indicate the history of this and to why this is, but haven’t found much. I’d love to hear anecdotal ‘whys’ about this, not for any real reason other than it makes me suspicious in terms of salary generally. Many (most?) fields in the U.S. that are dominated by women aren’t areas which are traditionally high-paying, nor seen as particularly valuable by those who have been the status quo of determining what is valuable (ie: middle aged white men). Is this field the exception? How did women find this as a promising field (especially prior to the internet and electronic data explosion) and then (and now) come to it in droves?
If nothing else, perhaps once I’m certified and job-hunting, I’ll take my independent academic researching background and see what I can find and perhaps write a paper on it! 😉
I welcome any feedback on this topic, as well as links/resources that could provide historical background as to how women have come (or always did) to dominate this particular area of the healthcare world in the U.S.
Also, I’d like to thank the AAPC for making me feel so welcome in this professional organization. 💗
Therapeutic Youth Group Home Coding/Billing
I work for a Mental Health Center, and we also have several Therapeutic Youth Group Homes. We bill S5145 to Medicaid for the group home services, which is what our state requires. However, they have also been trying to bill this code to all the private insurance companies for families that have insurance, and most of them do not pay for this code. I have been trying to find a better code to use to bill for these services, but have not found anything better. Does anybody have any advice on what codes we should be billing for therapeutic youth group home?
