Why should CPT codes matter to case managers?
Presently, there is no specific code(s) dedicated for use by case management professionals, the lack of which carries ramifications. Perhaps the most important goes to the ability to prove the value of case management within the health care system. Because there is no consistent, accumulated data regarding case management activity or cost, uniform analysis and reporting is extremely challenging. Another impact is that case management professionals do not have a dedicated CPT code with which to submit claims to third-party payers for services rendered. Q: Do CPT codes exist that pertain to case management that could be used?
