Monograph - SLT - M19
 
One of the most exciting components of the medical field is the development of new technology and surgical procedures. Physicians benefit from a greater repertoire of treatment options and patients have better choices. How the physician is paid for state-of-the-art treatment can be a troublesome issue.

This monograph is designed to address the reimbursement issues associated with a new method to treat open angle glaucoma, selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT). We suggest strategies to make your medical records complete and help prevent unfavorable determinations if the records come under post-payment review.

We identify the applicable CPT code to describe the procedure as well as the ICD-9 codes that identify those diagnoses that justify reimbursement. Applicable modifiers are noted as well. Documentation of the medical necessity and the procedure itself are key to reimbursement, so we describe the required elements in detail.
