In this so timely and most updated webinar, Our Speaker Jill M. Young will discuss the situations listed by CMS where direct supervision has been permanently defined allowing use of audio/video real time communications. Also, detailed information will be provided on the use of Audio/Video supervision for year 2025 & 2026. Clarification will be provided about supervision of residents by Non-physician practitioners. Speaker will also disclose what comments were made at AMA 2025 RBRVS symposium regarding prescription drug management & situations where "Direct Supervision" can be used temporarily as per CMS.

Looking forward to the new year Non-Physician Practitioners, Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners, need to look at any changes to the rules for their practice’s insurances.  CMS/Medicare publish their policies in the manuals posted on their website.  Other insurances policies and procedures need to be checked for adherence with CMS/Medicare’s or discover what nuances they may have.  There are several methods for billing for Non-Physician Practitioner services that are different than CMS/Medicare’s rules.

It is imperative that all parties involved understand what each of these methods are and how the guidelines affect how the practice utilizes, documents and bills for the services of them. 

Changes to CPT guidelines matched with CMS/Medicare’s significant changes for split shared visits in 2024 have caused significant changes in practice’s workflow.  If your practice did not make changes to reflect these changes, you may not be using proper documentation, your billing for services may be incorrect.

Changes the AMA has identified for 2025 will be presented as well.  This timely conference will help you ensure that your practice can have compliant documentation, coding and billing of these provider’s services.
