Strengthening Your Surgical Coding Skills for General Surgery

This course covers the most common practice issues affecting general surgeons: prior authorization, wRVUs, denials, and unlisted codes. Participants will receive in-depth and clinically relevant instruction on coding for numerous procedures, from hernia repair to breast surgery and beyond. With detailed clinical scenarios and a comprehensive workbook, course participants will leave with the skills necessary for accurate and efficient coding in 2025 and beyond.

Strengthening Your Acute Trauma Surgery & Critical Care Coding

This intensive, fast-paced workshop is built to meet the extensive documentation, coding, and billing challenges of the trauma coding and billing team. Learn what documentation does and not work by reviewing real-life examples. See what alternatives are available to critical care and how to use these codes for optimal reimbursement. Actual trauma operative notes will be reviewed in detail, showing what can and cannot be billed in a clinical trauma scenario.
