| | | During this 90-minute webinar, expert speakers Denise Williams, RN, COC, and Valerie A. Rinkle, MPA, will demystify NCCI edits and MUEs as well as the process for resolving those edits.
They will walk attendees through which edits can be appealed, why edits should be appealed, and how facilities can create processes for billing and coding departments to manage edits both proactively and retrospectively. Listeners will learn how to manage accountability for edits and implement best practices to effectively address edits across departments.
The webinar will also include a review of 2018 policy changes and NCCI Manual updates. Case studies and real-life examples will demonstrate how different types of edits work and what policies can be effective in resolving those edits.
