Podiatry is a provider specialty in which the coding and reimbursement rely heavily on services performed in the office setting, therefore Podiatry practices need to make sure they know the current coding updates for 2019 that will affect them, as well as implement these changes in a timely manner.

Podiatrists have strict policies, dictated by the State in which they practice, and understanding the scope of practice in their state, and applying rules and guidelines to make sure they are not only submitting correct claims, but they are reporting everything they can for reimbursement, and what is considered inappropriate to bill.

In 2019, there are new diagnoses codes for myalgia and Medicare’s final rule for E&M services will bring a possible major change for podiatrists. Don’t forget the new biopsy and allograft codes for 2019 and revised documentation guidelines for DMEs.
