Anyone know where I can learn this? In our program, we are responsible for coding. However, there are scenarios where I am not sure whether to code 305GC x 1 or 2, etc. etc.? Thanks.

Residents can do the CAP CPT Tutorials on the CAP website. Good resource.

Hopefully someone checks your coding. Someone should be able to make a list of specimen types e.g. Lung wedge, lumpectomy, brain biopsy etc...and list the codes.

I don't think that that is specific enough. 😉🙂

Our path EMR automatically codes based on specimen location and assumed complexity when cases are accessioned. We are supposed to check its determination at some point before the cases are signed out, but my feeling is that we (residents and faculty) are way less than 100% compliant on this.

i don't trust emr or lis automatic coding. How does your system know if a uterus is for prolapse (88305) or dub?(88307)
i have seen too many problems with these systems.
