I got an email that Codingline is closing as of Dec 31, 2023. This is terrible news, this was the best podiatry billing and coding resource anywhere. Has anyone heard what happened?

No idea. These days I just google as many codes as possible to throw at a case that I do and let the billers figure out which ones can stick.

How codes do you usually do for a TTR? 5 or 6?

Just use APMACodingrc instead... codingline is just basically a forum with one toolbox editing and deleting any post he doesn't like... or he closes the thread after he answers. It's usually pointless.

I got codingline free with APMA Coding RC, but I never found it to be useful. People just ask easy questions or 'how to do fraud' type stuff, and the answers all get neutered anyways. The guy might as well just write his own blog.

I have never used the coding resource, can you post individualized questions there like on codingline?

No, it's just a lookup database for searching. It has codes, globals, mods, links for CPTs to ICDs associated (most useful part imo).

That’s about 1/3 the number of codes I’ve seen my F&A ortho colleagues uses
