Ep 100: Question 2, Debridement and A Spot of Gratitude

Nobody Told Me That! with Teresa Duncan

CORRECTION: Thanks to Dr. W for letting me know that local factors are plaque and calculus. I had localized in my head. Sorry for the confusion!

On Election Day, Question #2 in Massachusetts easily passed. Medical loss ratio (MLR) is a hot topic right now but what is it and will the bill have the desired effect on the market? Time will tell. Debridement is another hot topic nowadays. I know, exciting! The code is being tweaked for 2023. I discussed the myths around D4355 and what the revision means for your schedule.
