As insurers and health organizations move toward value-based care models that incorporate population and community health, social determinants of health (SDoH) are becoming a point of focus in clinical practice. While the application of SDoHs is fairly new, the external social and economic conditions that affect a wide range of health risks and outcomes-such as where people are born, grow, work, and live-are not. The Social Determinants of Health: Case Management's Next Frontier is designed to help case managers develop strategies to manage and intervene with the populations predisposed to the risks associated with SDoHs. Not only does this new resource provide practical understanding and theory-based teaching around SDoHs, it also offers coding, assessment, and reimbursement tools for professionals in a clinical setting.

The emergency department (ED) is a fast-paced environment that presents unique coding and billing challenges. Department operating hours, missing patient information or nonspecific documentation, and a lack of standardized guidelines for facility E/M leveling make coding for ED services a difficult task. In addition, confusion over CPT coding guidelines can result in payer audits and lost revenue. JustCoding's Guide to Emergency Department Coding will help coders by clearly explaining how to interpret CPT codes and coding guidelines to accurately report procedures performed in the ED and billed by the facility. The book guides coders through assigning the most specific CPT E/M codes for both physician and facility services. It also offers detailed CPT coding and reporting guidance for integumentary and musculoskeletal procedures commonly provided in the ED and billed by the facility. The final chapter breaks down complex documentation and coding requirements for hospital intravenous injection and infusion services.

No matter the size or scope of a healthcare facility, the effort involved in maintaining a chargemaster is immense. Chargemaster coordinators, analysts, and other revenue integrity professionals must stay on top of billing and coding trends and changes, cost reporting, and charge capture. While the list of responsibilities for revenue integrity professionals grows every day, the work they perform has a significant impact on a facility's reimbursement and overall revenue. Thus, the increasing state and federal focus on price transparency means it is more important than ever to have an accurate, updated, and compliant chargemaster. In its second edition, The Chargemaster Essentials Toolkit returns to provide readers with the tools needed to optimize their chargemaster and ensure accurate reimbursement and revenue integrity across their organization. This edition contains a new section on price transparency as well as updated information on certain field locations, supply charge considerations, changes to the 340B drug pricing program, and functional reporting requirements for physical and occupational therapy. It also includes updated regulatory information throughout all chapters to provide the latest information on topics relevant to chargemaster operations and management.
