Compliance Conversations Podcast: Common Misunderstandings of Surgical Coding

I recently talked with Christopher Chandler, a senior consultant at a large medical group in the professional coding and reimbursements department. Christopher explained a whole slew of common misunderstandings of surgical coding.

At the end of the day, folks just don’t understand the coding system. They don't understand how it works, how there are global surgical packages, how ICD coding works with the CPT coding, or there's confusion because of multiple procedure overlap. Understandably, because it’s all so complicated.

But, when you really understand the system, you know how to code in a way that will accurately reflect what the Physician’s doing, even if it doesn’t perfectly describe what the Physician did in surgery, regardless of complexity.

Rid your life of added stress by becoming a surgical coding expert by listening to our newest podcast, Common Misunderstandings of Surgical Coding, where you’ll learn how to:

  • Ensure Reimbursement Through Accurate Coding
  • Code Separate Procedures
  • Avoid Over-coding, Coding Post-op Work, and More!
