Medicare reimbursement is continuing to decline for 2025, and it is critical that Podiatry and DME services are reported appropriately, and that all of the services that are billable are accounted for.  This webinar will address all of the concerns and current trends in Podiatry for 2025, as well review the immediate documentation guidelines for DME.  The modifier 25 is also a hot topic with insurance companies, so we will cover the do’s and don’ts.  Also discussed will be the confusing surgery codes and how to assign them correctly.  DME is always on the OIG workplan so understanding everything that needs to be done to dispense DME is critical.
