Hospital billing is notoriously complex and a source of frustration for many clinicians and practice administrators. That frustration reached new heights following last year’s volatile swing in reimbursement for one of PET/CT’s most frequently billed codes.
Do you want to understand how hospital billing works and what contributes to changes in how services are valued in the Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System?
ASNC2024 includes a special session where ASNC leaders and other health policy experts will break down the hospital billing process, explaining how data reported to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) can result in payment rate changes 2 years down the road. Solving the Hospital Billing Problem Around PET/CT will also debut a new educational tool that will walk you through CMS’s methodology and show you how to advocate for accurate data reporting in your hospital or practice.
This timely session will be held Friday, Sept. 6, at 11:00 AM CDT. Presenters will include Lawrence Phillips, MD, FASNC, Mouaz H. Al-Mallah, MD, MPH, MASNC, Friederike Keating, MD, FASNC, and Georgia Lawrence, JD, leading a discussion of the challenges impacting the reimbursement landscape. The session will convene live in Austin, Texas, and on ASNC’s virtual meeting site.
