  • Disappointing Shift Into Political Promotion

    This podcast used to feel balanced and worth listening to, but lately it has shifted into something else. Instead of focusing on meaningful discussion or diverse perspectives, it now leans heavily into promoting a specific political party. That change makes it hard to trust the content.

    If you are going to use a platform with a large audience, there should be some level of responsibility to present information fairly. Right now, it feels more like advocacy than discussion. That may work for som... more

  • Came for the coding…

    …left because of the politics. It wouldn’t have been an issue if you didn’t make it one. If you are so wrapped up with Trump that you believe it is appropriate to bring it in to a professional environment, then I can’t trust your judgment anymore.

  • Get a political podcast

    I came here for coding information, not Terry’s political commentary. The final straw was when she openly admitted to her xenophobia and racism. Stick to the coding information Terry or get a side show.

  • Spot on with timely topics

    Catching up on several of your episodes and had to pause to take a moment to comment. Terry, you’re always spot on with the current issues. My work has been primarily auditing but I am now working on coding and billing as well. I love when you cover all three perspectives. It makes my day when you dive into gray-area coding guidelines as well. I’ve been a fan of your podcast for many years now! Thank you so much. Stay well.

  • Political Leanings Obvious

    Terry provides a lot of good information for coding, but she has a right leaning stance that’s been pretty obvious by some of the things that she said. She recently made a comment on the government shut down stating that Democrats want illegal immigrants to be able to get healthcare and that’s why they haven’t come to an agreement. Illegal immigrants are not eligible and have never been eligible for healthcare, and it’s not why the Dems aren’t approving the funding. This is a false right wing t... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Top 10 Tuesday Medical Coding Q and A
Q: Should a cardiologist's statement that the attending physician was present and supervised the stress test be considered acceptable, or must the physician's name and credentials be included on the report?
If the physician signs off with name and credentials on the report, that is acceptable; otherwise, the statement alone is not sufficient to attest to supervision without proper attribution.
Top 10 Tuesday Medical Coding Q and A
Q: Can a physician bill a 99223 initial hospital or a 99291 critical care code for an elective TAVAR procedure?
No; if the H&P for the planned procedure was already done (in office or hospital), you typically cannot bill a high-level initial hospital code just for paperwork. Critical care billing applies only to life-threatening emergencies with 30 minutes or more of clinically required time.
Top 10 Tuesday Medical Coding Q and A
Q: Okay, so what diagnosis code would be appropriate for an encounter to check on prescriptions from two months ago to determine efficacy, and for refills?
Use an encounter code like Z760 for repeat prescription with Z5181 when actively monitoring or adjusting doses, and pair with Z79 for long-term therapy as needed; reserve Z79899 or Z760 for simple refills when no significant monitoring or dose changes occur.
Top 10 Tuesday Q&A – Happy New Year Edition
Q: Are there specific recommendations for physicians' signatures for care management codes?
The physician should both sign individual notes during the month and provide a summary statement at the end of the month to show involvement.
Top 10 Tuesday Q&A – Happy New Year Edition
Q: When does fracture care begin with the fracture care CPT code?
Fracture care begins at the first appointment with the specialist, and initial encounter means active treatment is being provided, regardless of who the provider is.
