If you have a specific coding question, Ask an Expert has the answers. This forum-style Q&A allows coders, billers, and analysts to submit a question directly into the forum. An AAPC- or AHIMA-certified coder will respond with the answer, supporting information, and explanation.
TCI SuperCoder Tip: For coding of an operative report or chart note, please refer instead to SuperCoding On Demand. This service allows the coder to submit abbreviated or complete documentation and receive accurate coding of the encounter.
