In-services
are comprehensive reviews
of some of the most complex coding topics. The clinical nature of
the topic
is explored first, including key anatomical features and procedural
details, along with technical information on any devices implanted.
Coding applications and rules are then reviewed, focusing particularly
on the practical distinctions between similarly worded codes. All
in-services include real-life coding examples and practice cases.

In-Services
We
focus on an end-to-end understanding of the process. We help coders
understand the clinical features of the diagnosis and procedure
or service underlying the code, the variety of coding rules and
distinctions which apply, and the billing and payment implications.
We help billing offices understand the coding criteria and why it
matters. And we help physicians understand the claims processing
and reimbursement consequences of their documentation and coding.
We connect all the dots.
A
wide variety of topics are available and
custom presentations can be created.
We
can create an in-service presentation on any topic you like.
If
your topic of interest does not appear, just let us know. We'll
discuss it with you in depth and then create a custom presentation
to meet your specific needs.
We
can also incorporate specific examples from your facility or practice
into existing in-services on current topics.
