Continuing previous discussions of cancer screening covered under preventive benefits, the subject will get a second look on the next edition of Talk Ten Tuesdays – when Robin Miller Zweifel joins the broadcast to focus on non-invasive versus invasive procedure options for colorectal cancer screening. Robin is also expected to report on the recent National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) procedure-to-procedure edits released in October 2022, noting the sequencing of performance for screening procedures. She will also report on the more recent changes to the age requirements for patients to qualify for coverage under the preventive benefits for colorectal cancer screening. And no report on cancer screening would be complete without mention of related procedures, including the gold standard of occult blood testing, Cologuard, and other molecular-based testing, as well as colonoscopy.

All this and more will be covered during the ICD10monitor and Talk Ten Tuesdays recognition of Medical Laboratory Professionals Week.

The live broadcast will also feature these other segments:

• Coding Report: Gloryanne Bryant, an independent health information management (HIM) consultant, will substitute for Laurie Johnson., senior healthcare consultant with Revenue Cycle Solutions, LLC, with the latest coding news.
  
  
• SDoH Report: Tiffany Ferguson, a subject-matter expert on the social determinants of health (SDoH), will report on the news that’s happening at the intersection of coding and the SDoH.
