These symptoms are presented by individuals across the lifespan with a greater prevalence in the older adult patient. The majority of these patients present with chronic conditions and often are not candidates for medical or surgical management. As a result, many patients are left with few options and often are told \u201clearn to leave with it\u201d or sent off to therapy without an actual diagnosis of the functional impairment to be treated.\n\nThis Pre-Con will present a comprehensive look at the evidence based clinical pathways and proven strategies to enhance patient care and generate revenues for otolaryngology practices large and small. New CPT codes and favorable reimbursement rates in 2021, dispel the belief that neurodiagnostic testing cannot be profitable. \n\nTopics will include:\n\nTest battery\n\u2022\tAuditory Evoked Potentials\n\u2022\tCervical and Ocular VEMP\n\u2022\tElectrocochleography\n\u2022\tVideonystagmography\n\u2022\tVideo Head Impulse Test\nPractice Management\n\u2022\tCPT Codes \n\u2022\tReimbursement\n\u2022\tScheduling strategies\n\u2022\tPersonnel\nDiagnosis Based Strategies\n\u2022\tRole of Amplification and Balance\n\u2022\tCanalith Repositioning Maneuvers (CRM) \n\u2022\tVestibular Rehabilitation\n\u2022\tFall Risk Management","post_title":"PreCon: Diagnosis & Non-Surgical Treatment of Vestibular Disorders in ENT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"aud18-2","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-11-04 19:03:30","post_modified_gmt":"2021-11-04 23:03:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/fcomnow.com\/session\/diagnosis-non-surgical-treatment-of-vestibular-disorders-in-ent\/","menu_order":18,"post_type":"session","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":23873,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2021-11-04 19:04:29","post_date_gmt":"2021-11-04 23:04:29","post_content":"Today the practice of otolaryngology has become a more office-centered specialty and less dependent on surgeries. The addition of ancillary services; allergy, hearing aid dispensing, sleep and cosmetics has been highly successful for both solo and group practices. The addition of neurodiagnostic testing for the \u201cdizzy and balance\u201d patient, has however, often been overlooked, despite the abundance of patients with dizziness, vertigo and falls. With the great demand and high reimbursement rates, there is no better time to consider including neurodiagnostics as a highly desirable ancillary service. This program will present an overview on strategies and solutions including reimbursement, personnel, and cost, all without putting stress and strain on providers, extenders, or the physical space.","post_title":"Managing the Dizzy Patient in a Busy ENT Practice","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"bus130","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-11-04 19:04:34","post_modified_gmt":"2021-11-04 23:04:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/archive.fcomnow.com\/2021\/session\/managing-the-dizzy-patient-in-a-busy-ent-practice\/","menu_order":130,"post_type":"session","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"attending":"In-Person","in_person":"checked"},"day":null,"duration":null,"end_date":null,"end_time":null,"session_code":null,"session_description":null,"session_id":null,"session_name":null,"session_objectives":null,"session_type":null,"session_type_detail":null,"society":null,"start_date":null,"start_time":null,"test_speaker_link":null,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
