Description
When it comes to coding excision of lesions, determining the depth of the lesion and extent of the repair is the first step in deciding if you will have a CPT code from the Integumentary or Musculoskeletal subsections. In this webinar, we will dissect operative reports and seek clues to aid in the correct assignment of codes for excision and repair procedures.
Objectives:
- Differentiate between procedures performed on the skin versus deeper soft tissues
- Identify documentation requirements for excisions and repairs involving the skin and deeper soft tissues
- Apply CPT codes to operative reports for excisions and repairs

I like them all. Examples were great.
I better understand integumentary procedures.
great reminder of the excisons/repairs
All webinars I’ve listened to so far are very informative and knowledgeable. I didn’t know much about excision of melanoma excisions. Very informative I plan on listening again
Appreciated the discussion of soft tissue tumor excisions. These are always hard to code.
Seemed fast paced for beginners… I found the discussion of the specific codes to be helpful
I learned the definition of undermining
it was great, honestly.
I feel more knowledgeable
easy to understand and presented very well.
As a coding educator, I watch many of these and this is the best one I have watched all year. It doesn’t hurt that the presenter has the most beautiful and calming accent!
