2008 Gastroenterology Coder's Survival Guide
Does Your Gastroenterology Coding Unbundle and Bundle When It Should? Get Help from the Experts
Make sure you’re on top of your coding game with The Coding Institute's 2008 Gastroenterology Coder’s Survival Guide, an easy-to-read, how-to manual tailored specifically to help you select the appropriate gastroenterology code every time. Each chapter is packed with practical tips, strategies and tricks of the trade that you can try immediately to benefit your practice.
This must-have guide breaks down and discusses your most frequently coded minor and major surgeries, diagnostic procedures and E/M services, and outlines all the steps you should take to report them accurately. Here are just a few of the topics you’ll learn about:
- Ablation vs. cautery. Same technique, different code. What to look for as the defining factor.
- Think “Miller-Abbott” refers to a PEG? Think again.
- Sphincterotomy + hemorrhoidectomy: Our quick reference chart reveals when you should — and shouldn’t — report associated procedures.
- If your gastroenterologist wants to charge G-tube supply, you better check this first.
- Your gastroenterologist might not specify “internal” or “external” hemorrhoid, but there’s another way to tell. Spot this reference, and you have the info you need.
- Just because a patient doesn’t bring back three cards, doesn’t mean you have to skip 82270. Get the lowdown on FOBT x1 or x3.
- There’s only one solution for PEG tube removal. Do you know which related procedure needs a 52?
- And much more!
