Coding Discussions

This blog will discuss coding issues, and will function in a question and answer format.
The intention is to ensure that Precision clients use all the appropriate codes for the various procedures in an ethical and acceptable manner. Any suggested codes for pain blocks, lines or bloodpressure control assumes that the procedure or line is actually performed or inserted.

An example of the type of procedure where codes are often missed is the shoulder acromioplasty where the following codes can potentially be used:
0151
0617
5442
0023
2800
0039
0034
0032
