This intermediate-level course concentrates on different topics based on the AAOMS Parameters of Care, OMS-specific procedural coding for medical and dental, reimbursement issues, audit tips, coding complications and medical record documentation. The popular AAOMS Beyond the Basics Coding Workshop features content modifications to address coding guidance for the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery. In addition to existing coding guidance for anesthesia services, bone grafting, fractures, extractions and implants, this course offers new content, including guidance for dentoalveolar procedures such as surgical exposure, surgical uprighting, tissue transfer, I&Ds, cleft palate/lip procedures, trauma, debridement and wound repairs. This course also includes the 2021 changes to E/M coding and documentation. Participants must have a basic understanding of CDT, CPT and ICD-10-CM in order to comprehend the content in this course. Basic coding knowledge or completion of the AAOMS Basic Coding for OMS and ICD-10-CM for OMS online courses is highly recommended before participating in this course.
