Technical

Walk me through how you would code an operative report for a complex GYN oncology surgery where the documentation is ambiguous about the extent of the procedure.

proactive provider education skills and willingness to escalate systemic issues

How do you keep charges moving on a timely basis when you are also fielding questions from practice management and team members?

ability to balance productivity with communication demands in a high-volume environment

How would you approach coding a case that falls slightly outside your primary specialty, say a GI or hematology case, if it landed on your desk?
