Description
CPT coding for bronchoscopic procedures performed in the outpatient setting presents unique challenges for coders. Knowing how to use these diagnostic and surgical codes, as well as recognizing which codes can be billed in conjunction with each other is key to reporting bronchoscopy procedures correctly.
Objectives:
-
Review respiratory anatomy compared to CPT code descriptions and guidelines
-
Describe common procedures performed through a bronchoscope
-
Describe CCI edits and guidelines that dictate reporting common respiratory procedure codes together

I think this webinar was pretty beginner information. Would have been nice to see more complex, numerous procedures performed during bronchoscopy included in the example cases. I liked the Breaking News questions.
