In recent times urologists and gynecologists are often involved in the performance of various urogynecological procedures including an array of vaginal prolapse procedures and corrective urinary incontinence surgeries. This audio conference will lead all attendees step by step through the accurate coding of these procedures. Knowledge of these coding/billing materials will allow correct reimbursements and avoidance of denials and loss of payments.
Basic and advanced procedure coding will be explained using specific clinical examples, with modifier use, and correct use of ICD-10 codes. Coding tips for correct urogynecological procedure coding will be stressed with tips to get it right the first time and thus avoid claim denials and revenue loss.
Urologists, gynecologists, and any surgeon involved now or in the near future in the performance of urogynecological procedures should attend to learn proper coding and to help them from losing entitled payments. Coders, billers, and office staff wishing to learn or enhance their knowledge of urological and gynecological procedural coding will benefit from attending this conference.
