Q: How should we handle canceled inpatient-only procedures? Are these are still coded to the full intended procedure under OPPS and modified with a -73 or -74 modifier? Most of these cases result in changed orders to outpatient due to the patient being discharged the same day. Can the original inpatient order be used?
Q: We do in-depth HIPAA assessments for our clients, but some clients want a simple assessment that they can keep up with them to maintain compliance. Do you have any recommendations for streamlining security assessments?
