Hours: 1.50
About This Course
Neurology is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Primary care physicians regularly manage a range of neurologic conditions, such as headaches, seizures in children, and Alzheimer's dementia in older adults. Certain conditions are treated by neurologists who specialize in an area, such as epilepsy, neuromuscular, pain management, sleep medicine, or movement disorders. This course provides an overview of the diagnostic and therapeutic neurologic procedures and evaluative services classified in the Medicine section of CPT.
The goal of this course is to teach revenue cycle and coding professionals the guidelines for coding neurological procedures in the medicine section of the CPT code book.
The course will focus on identifying the appropriate code for neurology and neuromuscular procedures in the Medicine Section using case studies and scenarios. A current copy of the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®), Professional Edition is strongly recommended to optimize your understanding of the content covered.
