Description: Building on the detailed presentations by our physician speakers on breast surgery and reconstruction, join OHIMA’s Education Coordinator Dianna Foley, for an in-depth look at coding for these procedures in both ICD-10-PCS and CPT. She’ll discuss the appropriate application of the root operations Excision and Resection related to both breast and lymph node procedures. Dianna will discuss the distinctions between biopsies and excisions, as well as covering the various types of breast reconstruction procedures that follow mastectomy.

In addition to this webinar, OHIMA has recorded physician webinars (All About Breast Surgery - Clinical Context for Coders & Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction and Balancing Procedures). These discussions will help prepare coding professionals for this webinar. You can purchase these individually or as a "bundle". See below for "bundle" pricing.
