Hello, listeners.

Welcome back to For the Love of Revenue Cycle.

Thank you so much for tuning in today.

A big welcome to my loyal listeners and a special shout out if today is your first episode.

Today's episode is all about orthopedic coding, and we're focusing on a few areas that are especially top of mind right now with recent payer policy changes.

Modifier 25, E&M documentation, and payer downcoding.

This episode is a special one for me.

I'm joined by Lynn Andrenen, who has been on my dream guest list since the very beginning of this podcast.

Lynn will introduce herself and share her credentials during the episode, but bottom line is she is a legend in the industry.

And fun fact, Lynn was also my CPC instructor back in 2009.

So this conversation was a long time coming.

A little disclaimer before we get started.

I know we have listeners with diverse backgrounds, experience, and knowledge.

So to ensure we're all on the same page and to avoid any confusion, unless otherwise specified, all information discuss references services rendered in a clinic setting, not ASC or hospital settings.

So these services are submitted on a CMS 1500 form.

reimbursed through fee-for-service and referred to as physician or professional billing, as opposed to a facility or hospital billing.

All right, let's get started.
