The Medical Coding: CPT® Anesthesia, Pathology, and Radiology course provides focused training on three complex and highly specialized sections of the CPT® manual. Learners gain a clear understanding of service types, coding terms, qualified healthcare professionals, and special circumstances that affect accurate coding in anesthesia, radiology, and pathology. The course emphasizes correct code selection, modifiers, and conditions that impact reimbursement and compliance.
Module 1: Anesthesia Coding
Introduces anesthesia services, qualified providers, time‑based coding, modifiers, and fee considerations.
Module 2: Radiology Coding
Covers diagnostic and therapeutic radiology coding, including imaging views, ultrasound, oncology, and nuclear medicine.
Module 3: Pathology Coding
Focuses on pathology and laboratory coding, including diagnostic tests, drug and therapeutic assays, urinalysis, immunology, microbiology, and surgical pathology.
By the end of this course, the learner will be able to:
Identify and apply CPT® codes for anesthesia services, including time‑based rules and modifiers
Interpret radiology coding concepts for diagnostic imaging, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine
Apply CPT® pathology codes for laboratory, drug, and diagnostic testing services
Recognize special circumstances that affect coding accuracy in anesthesia, radiology, and pathology
Support compliant billing practices through correct documentation interpretation and code selection
