Billing, Coding, and Documentation for Digital Procedures: Avoid Audits & Clawbacks-Make Sure You are Doing it Right (and Left)

This program provides a comprehensive, compliance-focused review of billing, coding, and documentation for common digital procedures in podiatric practice. Emphasis is placed on accurate application of CPT coding definitions, adherence to National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) edits, and proper documentation to mitigate audit risk and prevent reimbursement clawbacks. Through procedure-specific examples—including nail surgery, hammertoe correction, tenotomy, digital amputations, hallux rigidus procedures, sesamoidectomy, Morton’s neuroma excision, and treatment of fractures and dislocations—participants will refine their ability to code complex encounters appropriately. The session also highlights common billing pitfalls, such as improper use of repeat procedure codes and misuse of pathology billing, while reinforcing best practices for compliant documentation aligned with current regulatory expectations.
