Hi,

I am a new coder and have only been coding for 6 months now at my current position. Looking to connect with people who can help me improve my skills. I have looked online and there is nothing in the form of a Laboratory Science Coding Certification or Pathology Coding Certification. I really like this specialty and want to excel at what I do. If anyone is interested or has any pointers or guidance that would be great. If you are in the Bay Area would I love to meet at a local library or coffee shop and talk lab/path coding or start a lab/path group that meets once a month that would be awesome!

Look forward to meeting you fellow lab coders!

Thank you!

Natassia
 
I'm unable to meet with you, but I can recommend a resource.

"Pathology Service Coding Handbook" https://www.apfconnect.org/pathology-service-coding-handbook.php

I've not used it, but I'm aware of other options (comments from those who use these would be welcome):
Pathology/Lab Coding Alert: https://www.codinginstitute.com/newsletters/pathology-and-lab-coding-alert.html
Coders' Specialty guide 2018, Pathology/Laboratory: https://www.codinginstitute.com/books/pathology-laboratory-coders-specialty-guide.html
 
Need guidance on Tier2 Molecular coding scenario

Hi,

Not sure if this is the correct thread to ask this question but I'm in a dilemma how to code this.

If multiple genes are evaluated on a single date of service using Tier 2 code 81408 ( for example if DMD and PKDH1 full gene sequence was analysed), what should be the MUEs for this code?

Thank You in advance for your help.

Hi,

I would suggest you start a new conversation with your question, otherwise, it is less likely to be seen.
