Coding Resources
The Academy Health Policy team reminds members that it offers a wealth of coding and practice management resources, which are available to you on our website. Resources include information related to common member inquiries such as requests for global periods, questions about changes to CPT codes, national reimbursement rates, payer denials, and more. Please note that as of July 30, 2013, the coding hotline will no longer be available through the Academy. Members can email healthpolicy@entnet.org with questions about existing, and future, resources that would be beneficial for ongoing training and education related to coding.
