Terry A Fletcher (CodeCast #podcast 🎙)

Truly disgusting

@GuntherEagleman Too bad the House fraudsters won’t pass it too many millionaires

.@VP: "We're announcing that the federal government is deferring $1.3 billion in Medicaid reimbursements from the state of California — and the simple reason is because the state of California has not taken fraud very seriously."

🚨 JUST NOW: Dr. Oz confirms there is $100 BILLION of Medicare and Medicaid fraud "We would be able to DOUBLE the life expectancy of the Medicare Trust Fund if we could deal with the fraud issues just in Medicare!" "If these fraudsters are willing to take your money, they will definitely steal your life and take your health along the way."

Telehealth modifier 95 and audio-only modifier 93 are under the microscope, and the denial trends are telling a bigger story. 👀 In this episode of the CodeCast Podcast, Terry Fletcher breaks down the claims data behind high-volume CPT codes, modifier usage, and place of service combinations that are triggering denials and audit concerns. From incorrect POS reporting to documentation gaps and risky billing habits, Terry covers what providers and coders need to know now. She also tackles a growing issue in healthcare coding: relying on coding forums for “final” coding advice and why that can quickly turn into a compliance problem.

CMS doesn’t define a strict “12-month rule”… but that doesn’t mean you’re safe. If a physician hasn’t seen the patient in 12–24 months, “incident to” billing could raise audit risk. Terry breaks down the gray areas and how to protect your practice. Tune in here: f.mtr.cool/djluqxczja #MedicalCoding #HealthcareCompliance #IncidentTo #AuditRisk

Truly despicable

Terry breaks down a recent social media post that exposed a practice’s compliance issues with time based care management services, drawing exactly the kind of attention no organization wants. Although the original post was quickly deleted after backlash, the situation highlights a bigger issue.  In this episode, Terry emphasizes the importance of using sound judgment online and ensuring time based services are properly documented and driven by medical necessity, not simply billed because they can be.

There’s something about the ocean that just resets everything, isn’t there?  Today is a reminder that the same world we rely on every day is worth protecting, appreciating, and taking care of, little by little, choice by choice. Whether it’s stepping outside for a breath of fresh air, reducing waste, or simply being more mindful… it all adds up. Happy Earth Day 💙 Let’s take care of the place that takes care of us. #EarthDay #ProtectOurPlanet #Sustainability #CleanSeas #LoveWhereYouLive

About time

Modifier 59 is under the microscope in 2026, and misuse is leading to audits, denials, and even recoupments tied to medical necessity  If you’re still second-guessing when to use it (or not use it), this episode is one you don’t want to skip. On today’s CodeCast Podcast, Terry Fletcher breaks down proper Modifier 59 usage, the common mistakes that trigger audits, and the documentation you actually need to stay compliant. She also dives into post-op pain injections, when they’re reportable and who can bill for them. Stay sharp. Stay compliant. Tune in here: terryfletcher.net/podcast/2026/0… #TerryTuesday #CodeCast

This is bad…

I genuinely don’t care if two thirds of both houses of congress have to be expelled. I want as many like Swalwell, Gonzalez, Lamonica McIver, Sheila McCormick, Adam Schiff, Ilhan Omar, etc, as there are out. I don’t want them censured. I want them out of our government. I also want them investigated and, if the evidence warrants, indicted and prosecuted. Our government has become not just a geriatric home for people like Schumer, McConnell, and Pelosi, but also a den of criminals who believe they are above the law. So far, they have been. It is my hope and prayer that is about to change.

Did you know there are male and female bell peppers? Flip those bell peppers over and check the bottom! 3 bumps = firmer, better for cooking/grilling. (Males) 4 bumps = sweeter, perfect for eating raw or in salads. (Females) The things you learn from the Amish! ❤️

Fracture coding shouldn’t feel like a guessing game, but when documentation is missing key details, it often does. In this episode of the CodeCast Podcast, Terry breaks down exactly what coders should look for in physician notes, including essential documentation elements and common gaps. She also shares expert insights and practical tips to help ensure accurate coding, proper reporting, and compliance when working with fracture treatment cases.

Undercoding isn’t “playing it safe”… it’s a compliance risk.  While overcoding gets all the attention, undercoding is still an error, and it’s now showing up in audits more than ever. Recent TPE audits are flagging undercoding because it impacts reimbursement, data accuracy, and overall compliance, and it’s reportable under CMS and OIG guidelines. In this episode, Terry breaks down why undercoding is officially on the radar and what providers need to do about it.

Practical, clear, and straight to the point, so you can code with confidence and protect your reimbursement. Tune in here: terryfletcher.net/podcast/2026/0… #TerryTuesday #CodeCast #TopTenTuesday
