Delve Into the World of Hand Surgery Coding

$399 | AAPC approved for 4.0 CEUS. Note: CEUs expire 4/30/2027.

This four‑part course on Hand Surgery Coding provides a clear, anatomy‑based approach to coding orthopaedic and nerve‑related procedures. Learners will strengthen foundational anatomical knowledge and apply it directly to accurate ICD‑10 and CPT code selection. The program covers incision and excision techniques, repair and reconstruction procedures, fracture management, arthrodesis, arthroscopy, amputations, and hardware removal. A dedicated module on nerve anatomy and procedures guides learners through coding decompressions, transections, repairs, and transfers. By the end of the course, participants will confidently interpret operative documentation and assign precise, compliant codes across a wide range of orthopaedic and nerve interventions.
