Thank you for walking us through these scenarios. I attempted to complete this before you so I could see if I am doing this correctly. Please clarify why 27337 (" Excision, tumor, soft tissue of thigh or knee area, subcutaneous; 3cm or greater") would not be used. Thanks

So happy I found your channel!! You are so helpful and encouraging thank you ♥️

Hi Im not yet certified so pretty new at this. I was following along with this case note. Was wondering if 27337 could be correct too as it specifies excision tumor soft tissue of knee 3cm or greater

TY so much for what you do. So clear, easy to follow, and informative.

I really enjoyed this one but I am confused which knee it started on the left but surgery on the right??

[lisagilmore]

Would you also need to put modifier-LT for left knee?

[hafduzngz]

The diagnosis says left knee, body days right knee...

[amymaier]

They say to highlight or circle key words on reports before coding. In an all digital office how can we do that?

I just watched this video and had a question concerning the CPT code you found. You used 27632 but i think the more accurate code is 27337. Am i wrong? I am taking my CPC exam next week and your videos are extremely helpful for preparation.
