Pocket Guide helps quickly direct vision care professionals to
accurate CPT and HCPCS reimbursement codes.
ELKINS PARK, PA – Gulden Ophthalmics has introduced the new Dovie Exam Coding™ Pocket Guide-Reference Card – a handy, useful reference tool that helps vision care professionals and their staffs utilize CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) and HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System) to code exams in order to be reimbursed by insurance companies at the most optimal level.
By coding exams at different levels, medical practitioners receive reimbursement by insurance companies and Medicare/Medicaid. For example, a routine ‘pink eye’ check may be a Level 2 procedure whereas a full, dilated exam may be a Level 4 procedure. There are some “grey areas” in many doctors’ minds, and coding can often be quite complicated for them and their staffs.
The new Dovie Exam Coding Pocket Guide – Reference Card is useful as a quick reference for coding exams to ensure that the correct information is being sent to insurance companies. By ensuring that the exam is being coded to the highest, correct level, reimbursements are maximized, are expedited, and proper coding can help avoid an audit or delay in payment. In addition, in case of an audit, the Dovie Exam Coding Pocket Guide-Reference Card can be useful in helping pass the audit.
The new Dovie Exam Coding Pocket Guide-Reference Card from Gulden Ophthalmics helps quickly
direct vision care professionals to accurate CPT and HCPCS reimbursement codes.
The Dovie Pocket Guide presents coding for new and established patients’ history, exams, and decisions. It details the Problem Focused-, Expanded Problem Focused-, Detailed-,
and Comprehensive-Levels of History and Exam and the Straight Forward- and Low-, Moderate-, and High-Complexity Decisions.
The complexity of today’s medical reimbursements, treatments, variety of drugs and drug interactions, and much more makes it difficult to stay on top of all the information necessary to run a practice. Any doctor that bills exams to insurance, especially medical insurance, needs to have the exam coding information memorized or quickly available. If they don’t they are likely undercoding exams, often to help avoid an audit, but could be receiving reduced reimbursements as a result. This handy easy-to-use card is a quick reference to knowing what should be coded, how, and when.
