This presentation is comprised of a panel of three speakers, who will present the topics indicated and answer questions at the end of the session. The presentation block will explore the basics of Coding for OMT and common modifiers used in Primary Care. Also, it will explore the basics of RVUs and HCC and the impact these have on patient care, patient funding and provider revenue. It is meant to be a general overview of the topic with some practical insights based on everyday use and experience. It is not intended to be a coding course. Lastly, the presentation will provide perspectives from an attorney regarding the ins and outs of contract negotiations.
