Surgical Orthopaedics in 2024 and Beyond

It’s more important than ever to keep current in new and existing codes. Revenue and RVU optimization depend on surgeon and coder coding accuracy.  The 2024 AAOS Proficient Surgical Coding course sifts through all that is new and important in Orthopaedics and packs it into an intensive, fast paced day. This year's agenda covers all you need to know to code and document accurately and efficiently in 2024 and beyond.

The course also provides in-depth and clinically relevant instruction on coding for a wide range of subspecialty procedures such as Hand, Foot & Ankle, and Joints. Real-life cases and discussions that link clinical procedures to the selection of CPT codes make this course ideal for surgeons and coding staff. Forget boring slides and a mind-numbing list of CPT codes. This course is rich with clinical scenarios and a comprehensive workbook that will become your first response coding resource.

Insufficient documentation can result in the wrong code and potential revenue loss! The course describes why documentation is as essential as the code selected, and how to capture all potential revenue by improving your notes. We'll show you the correct way to use surgical payment modifiers so that you optimize payment. You'll leave armed with ideas and techniques for setting up systems that reduce denials and increase successful appeals.
