Coming in 2020: More than 20 changes that will impact acute and chronic pain management practices. The next CPT® manual will include two new nerve block codes, two new denervation codes, revisions to 18 codes in the 64400–64450 code set, new codes for dry needling trigger points, and more.
Before January 1 arrives, prepare your practice for the way it will document, code, and report the new and revised services. The webinar will review the changes, including published guidance from the AMA and CMS. Join us for this 60-minute on-demand presentation.
