In this special live episode recorded at the Urology Advanced Coding and Reimbursement Seminar in New Orleans on January 31st, 2026, Scott, Mark, Dr. John Lin, and Marianne DeSciose dive into one of the most contentious coding battles in urology: billing E/M services with cystoscopy on the same day. Prompted by a real-world question from the Thriving Urology Practice Facebook Group, the panel explores when modifier 25 is appropriate, why denials happen, and how to build documentation and appeal strategies that get results. With input from attendees, the episode brings practical insights from the front lines of coding, billing, and payer negotiations.

In this episode, Scott, Mark, and Dr. John Lin break down the latest telehealth news—Congress has officially extended Medicare telehealth coverage through the end of 2027, offering long-term stability for practices. They also answer a listener's question about billing 52235 and 51720 together, covering when a modifier can be used and how to document instillation in the recovery room properly. The episode wraps with a cautionary tale about “medically impossible days,” where excessive use of time-based coding and level 5 visits can trigger audits and serious compliance risk. Stay informed, stay compliant, and keep calm—telehealth on.

On this episode, Scott and Mark Painter sit down with Dr. Sida Niu and Tyler Hamik, co-founders of docology, an AI-driven clinical intake and workflow automation platform. Dr. Niu explains how docology was born out of his own frustration with after-hours chart review, and how the tool now distills massive referral packets into clear, focused summaries—saving hours of prep time. Tyler shares how docology integrates with EMRs to automate front-end document intake and insurance data capture, dramatically reducing administrative overhead. They also discuss their recent selection to the AUA Innovation Nexus and invite physicians to help shape the future of the platform.
