NHIMA | Lesions: Biopsies, Removals, & Repairs with Dianna Foley

This two-hour presentation not only explains the details surrounding the procedures but also gives you CPT and ICD-10-CM/PCS coding practice using real-world scenarios.  

On-Demand Virtual Event

Overview

As a coding professional, are you confused between a lesion biopsy and removal?  Do you second guess shave procedures?  Do you understand the importance of margins?  Well, if you answered yes to these or have other concerns regarding the coding of lesion procedures, this is the webinar for you.  Let Dianna Foley walk you through the intricate coding for these procedures.  She’ll show you when a shave is a biopsy as opposed to a removal.  She’ll explain why the need for including margins is so important.  This two-hour presentation not only explains the details surrounding the procedures but also gives you CPT and ICD-10-CM/PCS coding practice using real-world scenarios.

At the conclusion of this webinar, attendees will:

  • Differentiate between biopsy and excision procedures for lesions
  • Understand the need for accurate measurements (including margins) to ensure correct code assignment
  • Recognize the unique component of adjacent tissue transfer coding in CPT
