I am starting a new coding adventure soon--I will be diving into general surgery coding.

Does anyone have suggestions on specific courses or classes I can take? Is there any specialized training available (on-line)? Or any suggestions on good resources to have at hand?

I am nervous, to say the least. I find that general surgery coding is not perceived as a harder specialty to learn, but looking at some notes already has me intimidated! :eek:

Any suggestions and advice will be much appreciated.

Thank you!
 
Any response??

Hi,

I am new to this area of coding as well and looking for any education and or resources. Anyone have a response?

Thanks a lot!
 
I'd be willing to help/explain when you needed it. I've been doing General Surgery Coding for over six years and have worked in a general surgery office for over 12 years. Most of it is not hard.

Thanks

That's awesome Katy! I'm very grateful for your offer. I'm not sure how to send you a pm, but if you could give me a contact email or someway to contact you--I'd surely love to talk and get some education from you!
