As a medical coder, precision and accuracy are key when looking up codes. It is very important to familiarize yourself with this process and each section of CPT. There are several types of minor procedures and services located in the Medicine section of the CPT manual. Take a few moments to review the Medicine Section Table of Contents that precedes the guidelines and answer the following questions:
Expand your knowledge of the services and procedures highlighted in the Medicine section.
Include the following aspects in the discussion:
Select one Medicine section subheading of interest and list it
Provide two coding examples from the subheading identified and include both the codes and the description of each
Report any parenthetical notes that are associated with the two Medicine codes you selected
Discuss what types of modifiers may be appropriate to use with the codes selected. Do not use the same code examples as your peers.
