Demystifying the Modifiers,
version 2.0

A self-paced CD-ROM continuing education course
Preapproved for 16.0 CEUs by AAPC

CPT modifiers in conjunction with CPT codes, when used correctly, allow the provider to more accurately document and report services that were provided. Knowing how modifiers work with CPT codes enables the coder to report many different, and even unusual, events that might occur during a service or procedure, that are not reported just using the code alone. In certain situations, the use of modifiers is required.

Demystifying the Modifiers is a self-paced, CD-ROM course that reviews all HCPCS Level I CPT modifiers, including Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) modifiers, listed in the CPT manual.

Who should take this course?

bullet Physician coding and billing staff
bullet Physician office managers
bullet Clinic and hospital coding and billing staff
bullet Medical billing companies
bullet CPC and CPC-H certification holders fulfilling AAPC annual CEU requirements

This course features in-depth coverage of modifier usage, the do’s and don’ts of modifiers, and guidelines on how to support the modifier used (supporting documentation). This course also takes a close look at modifiers that are similar in description, and emphasizes the differences for a better understanding of usage and reporting. Throughout the course each modifier is identified if it is appropriate for use in ASC settings, or not.

Demystifying the Modifiers also takes a look at the more common HCPCS Level II modifiers – their usage, guidelines, and reporting purposes.

The self-paced nature of the course allows you to work at your own pace. This is also an excellent way to satisfy the continuing education provision of the compliance plan of a physician practice or third party billing firm.

This course has been pre-approved for 16.0 Continuing Education Units from the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC). So for a reasonable expense, you’ll be able to tune up your knowledge and fulfill a large portion of your annual CEU requirement!
