Optometry 68360 cpt procedure code. This code represents conjunctival flap; bridge or partial, which can be important in diagnosing and managing various eye conditions.
Coding & billing practices have changed a lot either because of unawareness of new regulations or because of complexity of codes.
Coding for the optometric services has become seemingly
complex, but keeping up with the latest policies and guidelines will
ensure fewer coding and billing errors with a much higher
probability of reimbursements resulting in greater profitability.
While generating the claims ensure that the primary diagnosis
supports the CPT code.
A claims management system should be an important and
integral part of your practice management system.
If your practice management system has built in ICD codes,
ensure that there are some error-checking features to check
the accuracy of the claims.
As an O.D., your practice should ensure that insurance billing is
performed daily or at least weekly and not later than that.
Your front desk staff should check a patient's insurance
eligibility and authorization from your practice management
system before booking an appointment or proceeding to the
examination room.]
If there are any glitches, you should explain the detailed
charges to the patient. If their plan has a co-pay element,
ensure that the payment is collected in full at the time of the
service and not delayed.
