Bobbi Buell - Critical 2021 Coding and Documentation for Physicians for 2021
Speaker Roberta “Bobbi” Buell is a Principal for Provider Services & Reimbursement information for onPoint Oncology, Inc., and a nationally recognized expert in Oncology Reimbursement, and one of the most popular speakers that comes to our CT meetings. Her newsletter, The E-Reimbursement News, is read by 4700 subscribers each month. This is a not to be missed program for physicians and staff in every group in CT (hospital based or private.). She introduced these topics in an intense presentation on Dec. 17 to a rapt audience. We have asked her to return on Jan 21 for two reasons. 1) so those who missed her because of the snow storm in Dec can catch up, and 2) because attendees in Dec. asked for more details and follow-up once the year and rules started.
There are significant 2021 changes that will affect physicians and their patient management choices directly . All interested members of the practice team: physicians, APPs, nurses, administrators, and billing staff, are encouraged to join this invaluable call. We had planned this call for Jan. 7, but shifted it to the 21st to allow for time to gather the direct guidance scenarios.
Fellow CT oncologists on the Dec call asked for clarification regarding some situations. In preparation for the Jan 21 call, Bobbi has asked for our members to outline scenarios for which they would like specific guidance on how to code and document under the new rules. Please send these scenarios to me at dawnho@aol.com before Friday Jan. 15 and Bobbi will discuss each of them specifically. These can be routine or unusual. Send them in for clarification. and sharing of information for your own group and your CT colleagues.
