Today's episode is part 1 in our 3-part series on modifiers in the clinical or office setting. As many of you know, modifiers are an essential part of the revenue cycle. They have a direct effect on the revenue flow of the organization. Decisions on appending the correct modifier starts with the provider's documentation, then it's in the hands of the coding and charge capture teams. Claims review before submission is the final opportunity to append the appropriate modifier before it gets to the payer. Unfortunately, most of us learn about modifiers when we are resolving unpaid claims in the outstanding AR. Well, I think that means we can all learn something from this review of modifiers, right? Let's waste no time and jump right in!

In this live Q&A we have a sneak peek into the modifier series. We discuss modifiers 24, 25 and 79. If you love it, check out the next 3 episodes as we dive into common modifiers.

I am so excited to introduce the guest in this episode. I have to admit that I was fangirling a little bit. If you are involved with AAPC or have taken advantage of their educational opportunities, you have probably heard of her. So without further ado, my guest today is Rae Jimenez. In our conversation you will learn that her current role at AAPC is VP of products. But you will also find out so much more about her and probably figure out why I admire her so much. She is smart, gracious, and eager to be a part of teaching others about the business of healthcare. I hope that you enjoy our conversation as much as I did. Our discussion covers many topics, but mainly we discuss her career path, resources that AAPC offers to further their members careers and education and some coming initiatives.
