The Â鶹´«Ã½general surgery course covers all you need to know to code and document accurately and efficiently in 2023 and beyond.Ìý Important for 2023: new abdominal hernia codes which have been totally revamped. The same CPT codes will now apply for both laparoscopic and open abdominal hernia repairs, and most importantly, codes will be based on the total size of the hernia.

In addition to correct coding for abdominal hernia repair, the course will also provide in depth and clinically relevant instruction on coding for endoscopy, colorectal, breast, appendix, gall bladder, liver, intraabdominal tumor, endocrine procedures, and more. Real-life cases and discussions that link clinical procedures to the selection of CPT codes make this course ideal for surgeons and coding staff.
