Description

Join us for Getting Through Your First Op Report Without Crying! Learning coding is a blast when you’re tackling multiple-choice exercises, but what happens when you’re handed a real medical record with no hints about the correct codes? If you find yourself on the verge of tears as you navigate the maze of medical and surgical terminology to translate it into codes, this webinar is for you! We’ll dive into the components of an operative report, from the induction of anesthesia to the transfer to post-op recovery and everything in between. Join us as we explore common surgical approaches and equipment, and help you figure out which documentation is essential for code assignment. We’ll wrap up the presentation by walking through common gastrointestinal and integumentary system procedure reports and assigning ICD-10-CM and CPT codes.

Objectives:

  • Apply ICD-10-CM guidelines for outpatient surgery
  • Determine the correct procedural approach
  • Recognize documentation necessary for code assignment
