From the Back Cover
Dictations and Coding in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery was developed to be a resource for residents, surgeons, office staff, and billing and coding specialists to enhance coding and operative dictation accuracy. Numerous procedures are found within each of the book's ten sections, and include indications, complications, key steps and a coded operative dictation template for individual procedures.Complete operative reports have been reviewed by surgeons and professional coders for accuracy and content.
Knowledge gaps in this area have important consequences for practitioners. Among the consequences is reduced reimbursement or even denied claims for services provided when notes lack adequate descriptions and appropriate terminology. With increasing scrutiny of medical records by payers, it is more important than ever for the operative note to succinctly and clearly describe what was done to justify the codes that are submitted and maximize the chances of full reimbursement.
Inside:
·Operative templates for the majority of procedures performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons which can be easily individualized
·Diagnostic terminology essential for the development of an excellent operative note
·CPT, CDT, and ICD codes embedded within each operative note to maximize reimbursement
·Comprehensive resource covering indications, key steps, and complications
