CPT and HCPCS codes are the primary codes that describe individual hospital services that are billed to all payers. These code sets are revised annually with codes that are added, deleted, or revised. This workshop will focus on the 140 new, 134 revised, and 91 deleted CPT codes—including all major changes by body system, changes in diagnostic imaging, radiation oncology, and laboratory, plus additional bundling of procedures that are often performed together as well as new and revised coding guidelines. The workshop will also cover all changes to the HCPCS code set which is maintained by CMS.
Each program participant will receive a comprehensive manual that outlines all the key code changes in 2016.
