Procedure Coding for the Male Genital System

Description

This course delivers a focused, anatomy-first approach to CPT® coding for procedures involving the male genital system. Learners move from foundational anatomical concepts to practical coding applications for both diagnostic and surgical procedures performed on the male reproductive system. Content includes coding guidance for procedures performed in both adult and pediatric settings.

Across four lessons, learners cover excisions, biopsies, circumcision and revision procedures, congenital repairs, trauma-related services, prosthetic implantation procedures, orchiopexies, prostate biopsies, prostatectomy techniques, and tissue ablation methods. Emphasis is placed on accurate code selection based on surgical approach, extent of repair, imaging guidance, and CPT® coding guidelines.

Interactive Code Purple practice questions reinforce learning throughout the course, while the scored Code Red Ultimate Challenge assessment evaluates mastery of key coding concepts and real‑world scenarios.
