Cigna denied a reverse total shoulder. The reason? "Good deltoid function" was documented. For those unfamiliar, good deltoid function is a requirement for a reverse total shoulder. It would be laughable if there wasn't a person being harmed by these greedy insurance companies.

My parents cleaned my garage as a gift bc they’re awesome and know time is the best gift for me. My garage is clean. My standup freezer with over 100 pounds of beef was shut off and my outdoor router was unplugged and placed neatly on a shelf. I caught the freezer in time. 😅
What are the odds of United Healthcare approving an indicated total knee for a Schatzker 3 plateau in the setting of pre-existing symptomatic knee arthritis?
I hate to pick on any particular product line, but I don’t think I’ve ever disliked a plating system worse than Stryker’s AxSOS (… - - - … - - - … - - - ) I’m hoping Pangea is much better.

@generalorthomd @HeatherUpLeft @CenterRotation @tdd340 @ChrisGraysonMD1 @AbonemanL @OrthoCurryMD @jointdocShields Frustrating. No accountability . Need to always audit your billers. Do you get paid 50% wrvu on subsequent codes within same surgery or get full credit?
@generalorthomd @ChrisGraysonMD1 Have you talked with admin? Let them know how much money you are losing due to the coders? They then will often arrange meeting with coding lead. Would set protocol that if they are going to down code or feel it could be up coded, they need to contact you prior to changing
@generalorthomd I don’t feel good about it
@generalorthomd I code all my own clinic visits as well. I don't trust anyone else with my money. It seems like you aren't getting the same opportunity to as I do in private practice. I would present to the hospital as money they are missing by undercoding.
@generalorthomd @HeatherUpLeft @CenterRotation @tdd340 @ChrisGraysonMD1 @AbonemanL @OrthoCurryMD If you put CPT in op note and they change it then there should be a discussion about why. Either to educate them, or them to educate you on what else your note needs
@generalorthomd @CenterRotation @tdd340 @ChrisGraysonMD1 @AbonemanL @OrthoCurryMD @jointdocShields It’s doing you all a disservice. Let’s just hypothetically say they’re correct and coding properly, by not talking to you about it you’re not changing the way you chart. Your chart notes now don’t match what is billed out. If they’re wrong they’re not learning from you.
@generalorthomd @HeatherUpLeft @CenterRotation @tdd340 @ChrisGraysonMD1 @AbonemanL @OrthoCurryMD @jointdocShields @EJA3232 @kate_wynne @midpatelmd @kimtuckinAZ @randymcohn @orthotraumamd Revision of femoral component has to be the correct code

There’s no way the system as it’s currently functioning can continue without changes. The only answer I can see is surgeons working their way into C-suites.
@generalorthomd Coder here - there are revision codes, so curious about that code selection myself. 🧐 Are these coders audited for accuracy?
@generalorthomd @HeatherUpLeft @CenterRotation @tdd340 @ChrisGraysonMD1 @AbonemanL @OrthoCurryMD @jointdocShields @EJA3232 @kate_wynne @midpatelmd @kimtuckinAZ @orthotraumamd Are the coders held accountable? They should be sending you what they code for every case. If you disagree, they need to provide explanations from the coding guidelines
@generalorthomd @CenterRotation @tdd340 @ChrisGraysonMD1 @AbonemanL @OrthoCurryMD @jointdocShields all the time but if they’re billing out incorrect codes, especially when/if they don’t match your notes than it’s a bigger problem. How often is your billing department running random audits?
@generalorthomd I do the same 12-13 cases w/some obvious tweaks. My biller has been w/me 4ever. She’s the one that catches my undercharges. I’d recommend you start getting used to the CPT book & do it yourself. BTW, (86) that dumbass (22) mod. It’s useless & often delays payments
@generalorthomd I know some surgeons at institutions who only allow coders to input the codes. Their work around is they write the CPT code next to each procedure in the op note
@generalorthomd @CenterRotation @tdd340 @ChrisGraysonMD1 @AbonemanL @OrthoCurryMD @jointdocShields Your notes should have in the header what surgery you performed, sometimes even the actual code in there somewhere. If your coder thinks the code is different than the procedure you performed they should be asking you before changing codes. It can be tedious to be queried
@generalorthomd @HeatherUpLeft @CenterRotation @tdd340 @ChrisGraysonMD1 @OrthoCurryMD @jointdocShields I’m PP so I don’t rely on wRVUs. But I would definitely keep spread sheet of what they should be. Can these discrepancies be explained/corrected? What recourse do you have if coders are changing CPT codes? Is it fraud to charge inaccurate codes?
@generalorthomd @HeatherUpLeft @CenterRotation @tdd340 @ChrisGraysonMD1 @AbonemanL @OrthoCurryMD @jointdocShields Same for me. I started putting the CPT code directly in my op report - which seemed to help quite a bit. If you’re already doing it, and they’re changing it, that’s a problem. We instituted a “rule” that they have to let us know if they disagree with a code.
@generalorthomd I code my own cases. I don't trust anyone else to bill for me. If they don't let you put the code in, tell them what to do and make them discuss any changes with you. We work to hard to undercode
