Recently significant changes were made to the category of Observation codes. Their integration with hospital initial care codes has caused significant confusion among coders. Questions like: When to use which codes; What to do when a patient is in observation and then admitted?, Which physicians can bill observation codes? These are all common questions after the changes in CPT occurred.  Additionally, misperceptions on which codes to bill when the patient is in observation over the date line or less than 8 hours are seen frequently.

Led by industry expert Jill M. Young, this webinar aims to provide attendees with valuable insight and understanding of these coding challenges. Participants will have the opportunity to ask tough situational questions and gain knowledge in this interactive session, clarifying the complexities of observation coding in 2024.
