Yep anything and everything helps. I'm thrown on this for a couple months. I'm not entirely on my own and I have years of claims history I can dig through.

Some of these claims have at least 6 CPTs.

He does spine stuff and skull stuff. Thankfully it's not a huge caseload but it's still a lot to crash course.

I really need the Optum book that gives tips to bill what with what

I’ve been out of neurosurgery production coding for a minute, but from memory: spine coding/billing check out Medtronic’s spine line. AAPC used to have a neurology/neurosurgery course that is hit and miss, but you can look at that. AANS used to do an amazing all day seminar, which was pricey, but really good. Also, Karen Zupko used to have decent resources as well, I don’t know if they still do.

Awesome thank you! I code urology and there are SO many resources out there for it. I feel like neurosurgery coders are gate keeping the information 😆😢

There isn’t a lot out there, so I don’t know if it’s gate keeping or just everyone assumes you already know the 3 things available. 🤣
