  • Gray Areas in Coding & Auditing: What to Do When There's No Black and White Answer - Live Webinar
    Includes a Live Web Event on 09/23/2026 at 12:00 PM (CDT)

    $119 | Coding and auditing professionals, along with providers, often face situations where CPT guidance does not fully address real-world clinical scenarios. These gray areas can create uncertainty, leading to inconsistent code selection, compliance risk, and audit exposure. This webinar offers a structured approach to resolving ambiguity by applying a hierarchy of coding authority, leveraging official resources, and developing internal policies that support defensible decisions. We’ll discuss strategies for collaborating with providers to clarify documentation, review best practices for handling unlisted codes, and explore methods for selecting comparable codes when guidance is limited. Attendees will gain practical tools to standardize processes, reduce variability, and strengthen compliance across their organization, whether you’re documenting, coding, or auditing.
