Advanced Applications of Home-Based Primary Care-Virtual Workshop-Recording: Day 2; Part 2

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses various coding and billing strategies for home-based primary care services. The speaker provides information on advanced care planning, transitional care management, and prolonged services. For advanced care planning, the speaker recommends documenting the decline or change in patient condition and the effort put into continuing care. Templates and smart phrases can be used to document the necessary details. Transitional care management involves an interactive contact call within two days of discharge and a face-to-face visit within seven to 14 days. The speaker emphasizes the importance of documenting the non-face-to-face and face-to-face services separately to avoid double-dipping or double-counting time spent. Prolonged services can be billed for extensive provider time that goes above and beyond a regular visit. It is important to document the start and stop times, total time spent, and how the service went above and beyond. The speaker also mentions reimbursement codes for anticoagulation management and provides resources for additional information. Overall, the video provides guidance on coding and billing practices to ensure proper reimbursement for home-based primary care services.
