Heather Bryans teaches “Insiders” of Episode 166 about coding for integrated behavioral health services. During the Official Call, Ms Bryans responds to a question from Anonymous, who wanted to know whether to assume a link between anxiety and alcohol abuse as the ICD-10- Guidelines have a “with” designation. For the final question Anonymous asked whether a Family Practice Group would still be allowed to see older patients via Telehealth when the PHE ends on May 11th.  Congratulations Tessa for being the “mugging” winner today!” Coffee with the Coder^® LOVES your questions!!
