| cpt code for laser therapy: The Essential Guide to Coding in Otolaryngology Seth M. Brown, Kimberley J. Pollock, Michael Setzen, Abtin Tabaee, 2021-09-07 The Essential Guide to Coding in Otolaryngology: Coding, Billing, and Practice Management, Second Edition is a comprehensive manual on how to properly and compliantly code for both surgical and non-surgical services. It is a practical guide for all otolaryngology providers in the United States, including physicians early in their career requiring a working knowledge of the basics, experienced providers looking to understand the latest updates with ICD-10-CM and CPT changes, related specialists (audiology, speech pathology, and physician extenders) providing otolaryngologic health care, and office administrative teams managing coding and billing. Included are sections on how to approach otolaryngology coding for all subspecialties in both the office and operating room. Foundational topics, such as understanding the CPT and ICD-10-CM systems, use of modifiers, managing claim submissions and appeals, legal implications for the provider, coding for physician extenders, and strategies to optimize billing, are presented by experts in the field. Focused on a practical approach to coding, billing, and practice management, this text is user-friendly and written for the practicing physician, audiologist, speech pathologist, physician extender, and coder. The income and integrity of a medical practice is tied to the effectiveness of coding and billing management. As profit margins are squeezed, the ability to optimize revenue by compliant coding is of the upmost importance. The Essential Guide to Coding in Otolaryngology: Coding, Billing, and Practice Management, Second Edition is vital not only for new physicians but for experienced otolaryngologists. New to the Second Edition: * Strategies for integrating revised guidelines for coding and documenting office visits * New and evolving office and surgical procedures, including Eustachian tube dilation and lateral nasal wall implants * Updated coding for endoscopic sinus surgery and sinus dilation * Billing for telehealth visits * Revision of all sub-specialty topics reflecting changes in coding and new technologies * New and revised audiologic diagnostic testing codes Key Features * All chapters written by practicing otolaryngologists, health care providers, practice managers, legal experts, and coding experts * Discussion of the foundations of coding, billing, and practice management as well as advanced and complex topics * Otolaryngology subspecialty-focused discussion of office-based and surgical coding * Tips on how to code correctly in controversial areas, including the use of unlisted codes * A robust index for easy reference |

| cpt code for laser therapy: Transurethral Surgery W. Mauermayer, 2012-12-06 In 1951 WOLFGANG MAUERMAYER was one of the first young German urologists to visit the United States, after the war. He brought a very personal enthusiasm, and joy in learning, to many well known clinics in both the eastern and western United States. It was then that I first had the pleasure of meeting him; and, since then, we have enjoyed each other's company on a number of occasions. From California (and during a half year sabbatical in Berlin) I have followed the course of his exceptional career. He has transformed his Munich Clinic into one of the leading European centers for transurethral surgery. His first book on transurethral operations, published in 1962, appeared only in German. Consequently, it is little known in the United States and England. The present book, now in its first English edition, is the result of more than 30 years experience in transurethral surgery. During this time more than 10,000 patients were treated in Mauermayer's clinic by various endoscopic oper ations. His unusual reservoir of experience forms the basis for this book. It seems of particular importance that surgical techniques are described in a number of steps, since this enables even a novice to understand the various procedures. |
