This course is designed to have the student become familiar with the procedure coding book and be confident in choosing the correct code to represent the service performed by the physician. The procedure code must complement the diagnosis code in order for a medical bill to be paid correctly. This course will make the CPT coding book user-friendly so students will be able to identify evaluation and management codes, surgery codes, radiology and pathology codes, medicine codes, as well as modifiers.
Book required: Current Procedural Terminology Coding book (any year from 2000 on).
