Mastering Reimbursement
Fine Points
The phrase, “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing,” is true about
reimbursement for wound management services, procedures, and products.
In fact, a little knowledge can mislead professionals, providers, and the
revenue cycle team into thinking they have more expertise than they really do.
Because wound management reimbursement coding, coverage, and payment
is unique, the idiom, “The devil is in the details,” should remind the entire
wound management team that reimbursement details are important and
that missteps can have consequences that can be avoided.
The 2019 Wound Clinic Business will provide reimbursement fine points that
should be mastered to run a successful wound management business. These
fine points will pertain to the work of physicians, podiatrists, non-physician
practitioners, therapists, and hospital-owned outpatient wound management
provider-based departments.
If you and your entire revenue cycle team would like to “raise the bar” of your
wound management reimbursement knowledge, you will not want to miss this
year’s detail-oriented seminar.
Learning Objectives
To provide wound management reimbursement fine points for the full
spectrum of professionals, providers, office managers, coders, billers,
compliance, etc. This year’s objectives are to:
Master coding fine points that keep your business on track
Master the often-overlooked coverage fine points
M
aster the numerous payment system fine points that must
be incorporated into charging systems
Master the self-audit process to catch problems that often
lead to repayments

Kathleen Schaum is a nationally recognized wound management
reimbursement strategy consultant and educator with more than 50 years of
industry experience. Because Ms. Schaum is passionate about the success
of all wound management businesses, she shares her up-to-the-minute
reimbursement knowledge with all wound management stakeholders
who want to establish/maintain/improve their businesses. In addition to
presenting at the 10 Wound Clinic Business seminars each year, Kathleen

on Ms. Schaum to keep them informed about the coding, payment, coverage,
and audit changes that impact their revenue in both the “volume-based” and
“value-based” payment systems.
