Every year, there are updates to critical aspects of billing and coding, such as the CPT® codes and the Medicare Physicians Fee Schedule. In 2024, a new method for reporting caregiver training has been introduced, leading to some confusion regarding the assignment of modifiers for procedures involving assistants. Additionally, there are annual updates to Medicare policies for therapy, including new threshold limits and the "always therapy" listing, which also require the use of modifiers.

This webinar, led by Lynn M. Anderanin, will address these issues for 2024. Specifically, she will examine changes in therapy related to caregiver training and the assessment of assistant involvement, with a focus on the proper use of modifiers. The webinar will also cover the Physicians Fee Schedule Final Rule for 2024 and provide updates on any other changes from CMS.
