Description of CME Course
In many health care settings, a procedure or service is reviewed by a certified professional coder or other billing specialist before being submitted as a claim to the payer. In some instances, CPT codes and/or the associated diagnosis codes need to be adjusted to match the service provided or corrected if the wrong code was selected by mistake. Some organizations require that these changes be made only by the physician or other qualified health care professional who performed the service. Thus, there exists confusion around who is permitted to make such changes.
