2020 CPT Update
Webinar


December 18, 2019
11:00 AM - 1:00 PM ET

Are you ready for AMA CPT 2020 update? If not join us for a lunch and learn to learn about the new CPT updates. 2020 will see 394 code changes, including 248 new codes, 71 deleted codes, and 75 revisions. Most changes will be seen in the area of new technology. With the advances of new technology for e-visits and monitoring there is an explosion of new codes to help identify these services. We will discuss these changes. We will review the deletions and the revision and see how they will affect code assignment.

We will also review any OPPS final rules that will impact coding. CMS is proposing to add two new C-APCs and proposing to remove total hip replacement from the IP List only. As well as changes to the Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC).

Come and join Mary Gregory, RHIT, CCS, CDIP, CRC, CPC, CCS-P and AHIMA approved ICD-10-CM/PCS trainer as she shares this informative session on the new updates for CPT and OPPS.
