CPT 2011 Karen Scott, MEd, RHIA, CCS-P, CPC
2
Agenda CPT Changes by book section Including rationale and examples
Guidelines and notes CPT Codes are copyright protected by the AMA. Discussion and examples used are for educational purposes only.
3
Resequencing continues
Codes are not always in numerical order Most placed in family where they clinically make the most sense Symbol # O reinstated/recycled code
4
Modifier Modifier 50 Bilateral procedures instructions modified
Unless book says otherwise, if bilateral procedures done at same session use modifier 50 76/77/78 Repeat procedure, unplanned return to OR By same physician or other qualified health care professional Do not use on E&M codes
5
E&M Tables Just before the Evaluation and Management Section
Tables to visually be able to determine E&M Level
6
E&M Service Guidelines
Time Two new paragraphs “face to face” Office and other other outpatient visits “unit/floor time” Hospital and other inpt visits Prolonged time Use appropriate add-on code for place of service/type of service provided Non-Face-to-Face For office services Also known as pre and post encounter time Should not be counted as extra and is not included in time component But is part of the service package
7
SELECTING LEVEL OF SERVICE
3. Counseling time Dominates the encounter More than 50% of time spent in counseling Time is the key factor Includes time spent with parties assuming responsibilities for care/making decisions Does not have to be family members Must be documented appropriately
8
Hospital observation Initial Obvs Care
New/Established Patient Obvs Status for supervising physicians Initiation, supervision of care plan, periodic reassessments Use consults or subsequent obvs care codes for other physicians Patient admitted to hospital after obvs On same date, use initial hosp. inpt codes Other than initial/discharge date, use subsq. Obvs codes Adm/Disch. From obvs or inpt on same date, use appropriate codes Don’t code obvs discharge with hospital admission codes
9
Subsequent obvs care Now have time as a factor 99224-xx226
Extended obvs care over the first day, per day, similar to subsequent hosp. inpt. 2/3 components All codes include medical record review, review of results of dx studies/changes in pt’s status since last assessment Resequenced codes Showing up with # and Bullet symbols Now have time as a factor
10
Hospital inpt services
Reminder to review guidelines to use these appropriately Obvs vs. subsequent hospital, resequenced codes New Coding Tip Significance of Time factor Only averages Intraservice time face to face vs floor/unit
11
Obvs/inpt adm/dis same date
Reminder note Date of service Admitted or discharged on different date Use other codes
12
Consultations Coding Tip p. 18 Definition of Transfer of Care
Very important in selection of correct code Attending “relinquishes care” for all/some of patient’s problems Accepting physician “explicitly agrees to accept responsibility” Transferring physician not providing care for problem(s) turned over Do not use if agreement to transfer made prior to first visit Ok to use if can’t make determination until after first visit occurs. Site does not matter
13
ED Coding Tip Time Not part of description in ED codes
Difficult to measure time spent with each patient New/Established pt No difference between new/established pt
14
Critical care Professional services reporting Inclusive components
Distinguish between physician and facility reporting Facilities can use any of the codes; not included in package Coding Tip Same information as addition to notes
15
Preventive medicine Services that can be reported separately include such as Vaccines, including new admin codes Lab/x-ray, ancillary testing Screening tests
16
Inpt neonatal icu Review definitions
Critically injured pediatric patient Ped critical care pt transport guidelines Inclusive services Same as for critical care and also include , 75, 76 Intensive care services codes
17
Anesthesia section No changes
18
Surgery section No guideline changes General

19
Integumentary Debridement Defined-removed excision from heading
6 revised codes 3 new codes 2 deleted codes 6 new cross references 4 instructional notes
20
Debridement specifics
Wound debridements reported by depth of tissue removed, surface area of wound Reported for injuries, infections, wounds and chronic ulcers Depth measured using deepest level of tissue removal Multiple wounds: add surface area of wounds at same depth Don’t combine from different depths
21
Example multiple wounds
Two separate debridements to bone, one is 12 cm and one is 5 cm, size is combined (17) Use code 11044 Location doesn’t matter-codes are by depth (subq, bone, etc.) May need to use modifier 59 if multiple codes needed Coding Tip
22
Debridement Revised notes Revised Codes
Notes: if only skin is debrided, use active wound care codes, not these surgery codes Revised Codes Includes removal foreign matter in open fx/dislocation Took out codes for full and partial thickness Added size, first/each additional 20 sq cm Xx010 added “at the site”, removed the (s) next to fracture and dislocation, making it singular
23
Repair/closure Complex repair Prep Does not include
Changes made due to changes in debridement section Wounds needing more than layered closure Scar revision, debridement, stents, retention sutures, etc. Prep includes creating defect for repair/debridement complicated lacerations/avulsions Does not include Excision of lesions Excisional prep of wound bed Debride open fx or dislocation
24
Instructions On when separate debridement is coded
Extensive debridement to match new codes in that area When to code separately involvement of tendons, blood vessels, nerves
25
Skin graft/replacement

OPPS Final Rule 2011 pdf Nov. 24, 2010
88
Supervision Requirements
Changed the definition of "immediately available" Delayed for rural and critical access hospitals (CAHs) new category "nonsurgical extended duration therapeutic services“ require direct supervision during an initiation period, followed by a minimum standard of general supervision no longer require physicians to be present in every off-campus provider-based department (PBD) change definition of immediately available "physically present, interruptible, and able to furnish assistance and direction throughout the performance of the procedure but without reference to any particular physical boundary."
89
Nonsurgical extended duration therapeutic services
extended duration extending beyond normal business hours significant monitoring component typically conducted by nursing or other staff low risk-typically would not require direct supervision often during the service Not be a surgical service that includes recovery time observation, intravenous infusion, subcutaneous infusion, and therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic "initiation of the service" beginning portion of service ends when patient is stable and supervising physician/non-physician practitioner believes remainder of service can be delivered safely under his or her general direction and control without the physician's physical presence hospital campus
90
Critical care services
CPT revising guidance for hospital reporting purposes to show inclusive services do not pertain to hospitals separate reporting of ancillary services/charges when provided with critical care No extra payment-already factored those costs into critical care APC payment rate
91
CPT Codes moved 19295 (Image guided placement, metallic localization clip, percutaneous, during breast biopsy/aspiration) will be paid when not reported on claim with any other procedure with status indicator of ‘‘S,’’ ‘‘T,’’ ‘‘V,’’ or ‘‘X.’’ Can be inserted prior to procedure for which the localization needed status indicator ‘‘Q1’’ (packaged when reported with a procedure with status indicator of ‘‘S,’’ ‘‘T,’’ ‘‘V,’’ or ‘‘X’’; otherwise separately paid APC 0340 (Minor Ancillary Procedures), $48.72
92
Outliers outlier payment equals 50 percent of amount by which cost of furnishing service exceeds times the APC payment amount when both 1.75 multiple threshold and the final fixed-dollar $2,025 threshold met
93
Movement of CPT Codes APC 0209, $772 93229
Wearable mobile cardiovascular telemetry with electrocardiographic recording, concurrent computerized real time data analysis and greater than 24 hours of accessible ECG data storage APC 0209, $772

reassign Codes 43216, 43242, 43510, and 43870 from APC 0141 to APC 0422, $1,137 43240 to APC 0141, $605 43228 to APC 0422, $1,137 63661, 63662, 63663, and to APC $1,480.
95
OPPS Payment for Drug Administration Services
continue to use five-level APC structure APC 0436 $26 APC 0437 $36 APC 0438 $75 APC 0439 $127 APC 0440 $204
96
Payment for Hospital Outpatient Visits
continue to define new or established patient status Whether or not patient has been registered as inpatient or outpatient of the hospital within the past 3 years.
97
Codes removed from inpt only list
Reconstruction of mandibular rami; horizontal, vertical, C, or L osteotomy; without bone graft, APC 0256 T Open treatment of orbital floor blowout fracture; periorbital approach with bone graft (includes obtaining graft) 0256 T Amputation, forearm, through radius and ulna; reamputation APC 0049 T
98
Other issues An increase to the drug packaging threshold from $65 to $70 A slight increase in separately payable drug reimbursement from ASP + 4% today to ASP+5% in the future Co-insurance and deductibles for preventive services The outpatient hospital quality initiative
