Billing & Coding for Sexual and Reproductive Health Care Staff and Providers

Originally designed for abortion provider staff members, this two-part webinar series provides key information on billing and coding procedures for all sexual and reproductive health care providers and staff. CME credit is not available for viewing the recorded presentations.

Webinar I: Coding for Office and Telemedicine Visits

1 HOUR 17 MINUTES

This session reviews the 2021 AMA/CMS coding rules for evaluation and management (E/M) visits, which are now based on either total time or medical decision making. Professor Dr. Michael S. Policar (UCSF Ob/Gyn Professor Emeritus) presents both basic and advanced case studies to explain the nuances of coding for these visits. Cases include visits for family planning, sexually transmitted infections, well-person periodic health screening, pregnancy verification and counseling.

Webinar II: Coding for Reproductive Health Office Procedures

1 HOUR 17 MINUTES

This session focuses on coding for in-office procedures including surgical abortion, IUD and implant placement and removal, skin biopsies, and genital wart treatment. Dr. Michael S. Policar (UCSF Ob/Gyn Professor Emeritus) also covers coding problems that arise at follow-up visits, such as with medication abortion. "Hybrid visits", which start with a telemedicine visit and are followed by an in-person office procedure, are also discussed.

Providing Contraceptive Counseling and Care to Young People

This three-part webinar series hosted by Beyond the Pill in collaboration with the School-Based Health Alliance reviews contraceptive options and counseling methods for young people. Although this webinar series is designed for those who provide contraceptive care and counseling at school-based health centers, it contains crucial information for anyone who provides contraceptive care or interacts with youth.

 Webinar I:  An Introduction to IUDs and the Implant

52 MINUTES

In the first webinar of this series, we review the latest scientific and professional recommendations for IUDs and implants as part of school-based sexual and reproductive health services. We review these methods using a case-based teaching method that illustrates CDC guidelines for patient eligibility with a focus on adolescents. You’ll come away better equipped to discuss IUDs and implants with young people and help them make an informed choice among a wide range of contraceptive options.

Webinar II:  Sharing the Science: Tools for Describing Data Using a Patient-Centered Framework

1 HOUR 5 MINUTES

Our second webinar explores key principles of patient-centered counseling and discusses how to offer non-judgmental contraceptive counseling in challenging, real-world situations. We review strategies for addressing misinformation and presenting scientific data about risks, benefits, and side effects of contraceptive methods using a patient-centered approach. While this training is designed primarily for those who provide contraceptive counseling and care, it may benefit anyone who talks with youth about health and/or sexuality.

Webinar III:  An Ethical Framework for Providing Contraceptive Counseling

1 HOUR 8 MINUTES

The third webinar is an opportunity to explore ethical guidelines for providing contraceptive care and counseling. We help examine how unconscious bias can influence the way you talk with young people about their contraceptive options and how different approaches to counseling may advance or hinder reproductive autonomy. An overview of patient-centered counseling will help establish an ethical framework that supports individuals to have access to information about the full range of options and select their method of choice.
