 Surgical Coding Need

• Well trained surgical specialty coders are difficult to find.

• While a number of coders are certified, few have the extensive surgical coding training or specialty knowledge possessed by The Coding Network’s staff of surgical coding experts.

• Surgical specialty coding covers the most complex portion of the CPT code book and presents procedural, modifier, and diagnostic coding challenges.

• Coder turnover creates cash flow peaks and valleys.

• In smaller practices, full time certified procedural coders are an expensive overhead item.
