CD #2: Take the Guesswork Out of Gyn Oncology Coding presented by Melanie Witt, RN, CPC, COBGC, MA,

There are over 30 codes that could apply to any combination of procedures done to excise gyn cancer, and worse - surgeons are putting together combinations that appear to have no CPT equivalent.

You may have to look to modifiers to correctly code for some surgeries, others can only be reported with unlisted codes.

Plus - many payers are now expecting much more definitive diagnosis coding in support of the more radical or unusual surgeries.

Join Melanie Witt, RN, CPC, COBGC, MA:

Diagnostic phase of cancer: review the types of diagnoses and diagnostic procedures essential to capturing reimbursement.
Learn the secrets of pathology language and how it translates into reportable ICD9 code.
Knowing when and how to apply modifiers can make all the difference to seemingly unusual surgery.
Handle discussions with the patient for preparation for radiation or chemotherapy.
Tackle unusual coding combinations in a defensible way.
More than one surgeon at the table? Get clues to bill correctly for shared surgery.
PLUS: A coding grid to differentiate between the different codes for cancer surgery - what is included in each code and typically what type of cancer the code should be reported with.

CD #3: Breast Procedure Coding Made Easy - and Profitable presented by Kim Garner-Huey, CPC, CCS-P, CHCC

Let coding and reimbursement expert Kim Garner Huey, CPC, CCS-P, CHCC, be your guide in this 60-minute audioconference as she explains the ins and outs of breast procedures – from distinguishing biopsies and excisions, when radiological supervision can be billed and much more.
