Episode Summary: Medical coding and billing is complex. The International Classifications of Diseases version 10 (ICD-10) and the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code sets are expansive. Furthermore, proper medical documentation using the Medicare Evaluation and Management Documentation guidelines from 1995 and 1997 make efficiency challenging. Host Neal Sheth interviews Dr. Piyush Sheth, author of Coding Solutions – General Surgery and Starting Medical Practice, to provide a brief overview of this complexity and his drive towards efficiency.
