Clinic Tips/Updates:
Timely Order Placement:
Please make sure all orders (POC testing and vaccines) are entered and signed before ending the visit. We’ve had several situations where patients were left waiting in the exam room because orders were not completed, which delays the workflow, increases room turnover time, and leads to patient dissatisfaction.
Rotavirus Vaccines: We are in the transition from Rotateq to Rotarix. Our current policy is:
RotaTeq should not be administered beyond 32 weeks of age, and should not be started in infants 15 weeks or older.
Rotarix should not be started for infants 15 weeks or older, and no doses should be given to infants 25 weeks or older.
When continuing the Rotavirus boosters, please make sure to order the same product
Kinrix (DTaP-IPV) is indicated for children 4–6 years of age only.

Clinic Tips:
You can use Dr. Simangan's dot phrase in your AVS, .DPSDENT for a list of dentists and a QR code to look up dentists in their area.
The Flouride Varnish Application CPT code: 99188
Dental Clearance Billing:
Primary Diagnosis: Pre-Operative medical clearance Z01.818
Secondary Diagnosis: Dental Caries, Etc
CPT CODE (consult code): 99241-99245 (based on complexity) --usually 99243 for us
A CONSULT code should NOT be used in general pediatrics clinic (only subspeciality) - however scenarios for a consult code in a general peds clinic include dental and surgical clearances in this instance you must include the THREE R'S:
R - Request for Consult (must be in the HPI with which Physician or Dentist is requesting)
R - Reason for Consult (must be in the HPI/AP why the consultation is needed)
R - Report of Consult (the note must be printed and faxed/sent with who requested it)

On the After Visit Summary (AVS) Please remember to put a reason WHY and roughly WHEN you want the patient to come back.
If it is a well check, after 3 years and the patient has private insurance, then they can only do a well visit once every 365 days, but if it's a Medicaid/MCO they can have a well visit after their birthday (regardless of the last visit)
If the patient is behind in vaccines, or needs a vaccine catch up visit, calculate the minimum date and use WEEKS rather than months to make sure they dont come her early; or give them a date to come back on or after.
If you are precepting a medical student, please make sure to make changes and attest the note. You will be presenting and summarizing when the medical student presented to you, not them presenting to the attending again.
Please make sure to order the vaccines through the preset orders (if you order from the name only, it may confuse the billing in the system)

Patient information on lymphadenopathy from Mayo Clinic. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseasesconditions/swollen-lymph-nodes/basics/definition/con-20029652
Clinic Updates/Tips/Tools:
Avoid using ICD-10 codes that are too similar and from the same code class (meaning the first letter in the code). This is called an Excludes1 note and can't be reported and the claim could be denied. Instead find a code from a different code class (which for some reason is called an Excludes 2 note) which can be reported. Examples are given here. (by the way, billing helps to fix these issues, but still try to fix it on your end too!)

Menigitis Vaccine Order Protocol Change:
There are now 2 separate orders for each brand. In your preference lists, you now have access to both of those orders (currently set as Bexsero - Private, Trumenba - VFC)
Meningococcal B, Recombinant (Trumenba)
Meningococcal B, OMV (Bexsero)

Clinic Updates/Tips
Please order Rotarix for 2 month olds to start the series, and complete the Rotateq series for 4 and 6 month olds
Paper saving tips:
Use the Printed Bright Futures instead of the WCC Handouts included in Epic (they are only 1-2 pages long!)
If attaching a non-English handout to your AVS, you can decide to delete the default English portion (and cut your printouts by half!)
The LATCH Breastfeeding Clinic is up an running! They are every Tues/Thurs from 9am to 2pm. Sessions are about 1 hour each. Drop ins are mostly welcome but check the door schedule to see availability. You can use .LATCH to attach the flyers to your AVS for advertising and the email address for families to schedule appointments. Please use the ICD 10 code, P92.5 to help track the patients. Thanks!

Billing Tip of the Week: Vaccines
Please make sure to associate a diagnosis to each vaccine given to make sure that they don't get denied by payers. (Click the double circles next to the order)
Acceptible codes are Z00.121 (WCC w/ abn finding), Z00.129 (WCC w/o abn findings), Z23 (encounter for immunication)
FYI: administration codes and VFC modifiers (SL), are automatically added so you don't have to! In other practices (like us in the past) you have to calculate each component e.g. DTap = 90461 (first component), 90462 (2 additional components)
One tip is to schedule there flu vaccine upon checkout! you can include this in your AVS, and we expect the flu shot in the upcoming months.

Billing Tip:
You may have noticed that the Plan Tab has several new additions in the "Visit Diagnosis" section.
If you click on the "Common" Button the "Expand Menu to Buttons", you can have all the buttons part of our BMI Quality project.
this allows a double ICD-10 Code (both Z and E codes if you really wanna know!) that can be used for diagnosis and when ordering labs
If you want to rename them to, click the wrench to the right and replace the caption.
If you ever lose the buttons or want to start from scratch, you can restore defaults.
Ask any of the attendings for technical support.
Print off a Scavenger Hunt Form and complete the Scavenger hunt once during this week. The winner gets a firm handshake and better clinic knowledge.
Check with the attending who has the answer key.
Billing Tip: Modifiers
Modifier EP indicates a normal, routine screening. ONLY use with WCC
Modifier TS indicates that a referral or follow-up services are recommended. When using modifier TS, link the most current diagnosis code(s) that reflects the condition requiring follow-up on the billing claim.These should come after the encounter code (e.g., Z00.121). ONLY with WCC
Modifier 25 must be used with non-preventive medicine Evaluation and Management (E&M) services (e.g., codes 99212-99215) when reported in conjunction with vaccine administration when the E&M is significant and separately identifiable. Continue to use EP and TS modifiers as well.

Consult the Pediatric Access Line https://center4cs.org/pal-members/dashboard/
The PAL Team will discuss the case with you and provide recommendations the same as they would for any patient with a behavioral health issue.
If they agree that ABA may be useful, they will arrange and complete a CARS (Childhood Autism Rating Scale) with the family.
The PAL Psychiatrist will complete the FA 11 form and send it to the requesting/attending Pediatrician and Trini, along with the consult note.
When you receive this then we will write the referral for ABA and send it to Trini. She will then have the documentation she needs to complete the referral successfully.

Clinic Updates/Tips/Tools:
We are currently going through a transition in the rooming process of our patients in clinic, and we ask for your patience in the matter. Our Medical Assistants will be collecting more information and charting much more than before which may take more time getting a patient roomed BUT this will help decrease your time needed in the room and with your charting.
Here is a copy (sorry for the quality), of what the MA rooming checklist is now. We have a special section for Pediatrics which they will be charting for us (along with other relevant sections--mostly the new patients section), and it is your responsibility to both review it, address it, and bill for it (where applicable). Examples include the MCHAT, PHQ-9, EPDS, Hunger Screening and the Develomental Milestones. The ASQ will still be given to families and scored by us (for the time being). (As a side note, the Birth history will include the Newborn Hearing Screening results in the free text box)
The goal is to be rid of all additional forms for patients, improve our charting compliance, and to be more efficient for everyone.
For any questions or feedback, please let any of your attendings know. Thanks!!!
