I liked the images the presenter used
Very informative
Amputation site definitions
Very helpful anatomy diagrams for all the amputation sites/names. Great for future use when coding
The information on the different locations in the foot was helpful.
Picture & the cases were very useful.
Have Mary do more webinars!
great information !
Great information!
I knew more than I thought I did
it was all a very informative webinar
The images were very helpful to understanding the small differences in some of the procedures.
I took away the modifiers 58 vs 78 definitions and will be referring to those.
Even though I don’t code for my position at the moment, it was a nice refresher on the procedure coding.
