ICD-10 Coding: Operative Report

ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS coding for operative reports can be overwhelming. You need to select diagnosis codes and procedure codes, determine which code is listed first, review inclusion notes and Excludes1 and Excludes2 notes, and decide on whether or not to code signs and symptoms. The coder must pick out the important information from a lot of unnecessary wording in a report that may go on for pages and pages. This video provides step by step coding for operative reports. This operative report involves the digestive system, but the basic steps apply to any report. If you give me a "Superthanks" of $5 or more, I will send you a copy of the slides for this video!
