CMS released the proposed 2018 Quality Payment Program (QPP) rule on June 20. To sum up the 1,000+ pages, 2018 will be something of a transition year like 2017 was for QPP, which was established under MACRA. If you read through the various summaries available, you’ll see the term “flexibility” used quite often, with specialty groups adding the warning that they need time to get through the complete rule before coming to a final verdict.
It’s time to start adjusting your brain to the new reality about moderate sedation coding. For years, you’ve trained yourself to not report your provider’s moderate sedation separately when CPT® marked the procedure code with a circle with a center dot symbol and listed the code in Appendix G. But the 2017 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule and CPT want to change all that. CPT® removes the symbol from more than 400 codes, and that means you need to report the moderate sedation code if you want to be paid for it. Codes for vascular procedures, electrophysiology, and gastroenterology procedures dominate the list of codes that carried the moderate sedation symbol in 2016 and before, so if you code for those services, you need to pay particular attention to the changes coming for moderate sedation.
Coding for drug screening certainly keeps you sharp. Along with all the CPT® codes and rules, you’ve got to remember that Medicare requires use of a separate set of HCPCS codes in 2016. But you may find things a little simpler in 2017.
