Description
In this course we take a look at common procedures performed in the emergency department such as laceration repairs, incision and drainage, and foreign body removals… just to name a few. We will take a detailed look at laceration repairs, and other integumentary procedure code guidelines as well as discuss documentation requirements and walk through chart examples to help you feel confident when making your CPT code selections.
Objectives:
- Define a simple, intermediate, and complex wound closure
- Identify a simple versus complicated incision and drainage code based the procedure note
- Select the correct codes for cyst procedures based on documentation
