Description
The human foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, and seemingly endless possibilities for code assignment in ICD-10-PCS. This webinar will explore some complex foot procedures, including bunionectomies, amputations, and complex fracture repairs.
Objectives:
- Review foot and ankle anatomy
- Present ICD-10-PCS coding concepts and guidelines for procedures, such as amputations, bunionectomy, and complex fracture repair of the foot
- Assign ICD-10-PCS codes to complex foot procedures

I thought this webinar was very informative. I really appreciated all of the visual aids to help me better understand the anatomy and what was being talked about as I have not coded much when it comes to podiatry. I did get a little lost in the case examples but only due to a lack of experience in procedural coding.
