Coding By Specialty Surgery (Full Day)

Now you can get the right coding instruction for your specialty without sitting through long coding workshops that teach you about codes you never use. Make sure your practice is up-to-date with the latest coding principles and techniques for surgical coding. This course will take participants through surgery-specific coding exercises and familiarize students with advanced use of the CPT and ICD-9-CM coding books.

Failure to code patient encounters accurately and completely can lead to delayed or reduced reimbursement or worse: denied claims. Practice administrators, office managers, coding staff, third party billing staff and physicians will all benefit from this intensive workshop.

Course Curriculum:

  • Surgery-specific medical terminology
  • Global/surgical package and implications for coding
  • Rule out, suspected, possible diagnosis codes
  • Supplementary V-codes and mandatory E-codes
  • Intra & post-operative complications
  • Correct use of CMS's Correct Coding Policy
  • CPT/ICD-9-CM/E&M coding guidelines
  • Correct use of documentation guidelines
  • Hands-on coding exercises
  • Coding for major surgical procedures including proper use of modifiers and supplemental codes
  • Proper use of the table of neoplasms and morphology codes

    Course Materials

    Your instructor will supply a comprehensive manual that includes workbook exercises and example case scenarios. You will receive guidance on specialty coding issues and documentation guidelines.

    NOTE: Students must bring current versions of CPT & ICD-9-CM Vols. 1 & 2 to class.
