Do you think you've covered all the radiology coding and documentation bases? Think again!

So many details impact how you code: specific views; contrast material; matching the radiologist’s dictation to CPT codes; and so many other fine points. You need to know what needs to be documented for PET/CTs; how non-invasive physiologic studies differ from duplex studies of the extremities… you're job is to find all of the pieces of the huge coding jigsaw puzzle.

Improving your radiology coding skills has never been so easy.

Join expert radiology coder, Cheryl Schad for a review of CPT codes having specific views that must be documented within the radiology report. Cheryl will explain the various types of contrast used in radiological studies and how the administration of this contrast is coded and the documentation requirements for assigning 3D Rending (76376, 76377) codes.

PLUS: Cheryl will also clue you into key words to look for when assigning various CPT codes

Here's a glimpse of what Cheryl will share with you:

• Common problems in assigning CPT codes - and what you can do about them
• How contrast media impacts CPT code selection
• Multiple studies on the same report need specific documentation - Here's what to look for
• How does the age & gender of patient affect CPT coding
• Zoom in on how to assign modifiers -76 & -77
• What to do when you are uncertain about assigning a CPT code
• How to code bilateral studies
