  • NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING Corporate Medical Policy
    NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING Corporate Medical Policy File Name: Nutritional Counseling File Code: RB.NC.01 Origination: 04/2002 Last Review: 07/2019 Next Review: 07/2020 Effective Date 04/01/2020 Description/Summary Nutritional counseling is individualized advice and guidance given to members at nutritional risk due to nutritional history, current dietary intake, medication use or chronic illness, about options and methods for improving nutritional status. A certified, registered, or licensed healthcare professional functioning within the scope of his or her license provides this counseling. Nutritional counseling is often required for members with conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, obesity, eating disorders, or other nutrition related conditions. Nutritional counseling begins with assessing the person’s overall nutritional status, followed by an individualized prescription for treatment. The dietitian or health professional takes into account a person’s food intake, physical activity, course of any medical therapy including medications and other treatments, individual preferences, and other factors. Nutritional counseling of individuals with eating disorders as part of a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, is supported by the American Psychological Association, the Academy for Eating Disorders, and the American Academy of Pediatrics. A multidisciplinary, coordinated approach to treatment includes at a minimum a physician, qualified health care professional, therapist and nutritionist who, preferably, all have specialized knowledge and training in eating disorders. Unique to the Registered Dietitian (RD) is the qualification to provide Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT). MNT is an essential component of comprehensive nutrition care. Disease or conditions may be prevented, delayed, or managed, and quality of life improved in individuals receiving MNT.

  • What Is Medical Coding? What Is Medical Coding? Medical Coding Professionals Provide a Key Step in the Medical Billing Process
    Training Certification Continuing Education ICD-10 Jobs Networking Resources Store Log In / Join Certification Overview Medical Coding Certification Medical Billing Certification Medical Auditing Certification Medical Compliance Certification Practice Manager Certification Locate Exam Prepare for Exam Exam Tips Credential Verification FAQ Home > Medical Coding > What is Medical Coding? What is Medical Coding? Medical coding professionals provide a key step in the medical billing process. Every time a patient receives professional health care in a physician’s office, hospital outpatient facility or ambulatory surgical center (ASC), the provider must document the services provided. The medical coder will abstract the information from the documentation, assign the appropriate codes, and create a claim to be paid, whether by a commercial payer, the patient, or CMS. Prepare for certification and a career in medical coding Validate your knowledge, skills, and expertise with medical coding certification Is Medical Coding the same as Medical Billing? No. While the medical coder and medical biller may be the same person or may work closely together to make sure all invoices are paid properly, the medical coder is primarily responsible for abstracting and assigning the appropriate coding on the claims. In order to accomplish this, the coder checks a variety of sources within the patient’s medical record, (i.e. the transcription of the doctor’s notes, ordered laboratory tests, requested imaging studies and other sources) to verify the work that was done. Then the coder must assign CPT® codes, ICD-9 codes and HCPCS codes to both report the procedures that were performed and to provide the medical biller with the information necessary to process a claim for reimbursement by the appropriate insurance agency.
