Quick Fix

I Can See CPT Coding Clearly Now the Gray Is Gone
Let’s face it, reimbursement is one of the biggest hurdles our profession faces. We know the value of the services we provide patients and the life changes that result. So how do we maximize payment for our knowledge and skill? By coding accurately to reflect the level of care we deliver.

Challenge Yourself
Gray is more than just a color. It is a combination of colors, a combination of multiple angles. It is an opportunity to see things differently. It is a chance to muddy the waters, to challenge what you know, and to expand by pulling in from other sources until your view is gray. As such, the resources for June’s Impact are about those other angles.
