This module develops applied proficiency in CPT® surgical coding across major body systems. You’ll practice coding outpatient surgical procedures within the 10000–60000 series, focusing on anatomical specificity, documentation analysis, modifier application, and the relationship between procedural and diagnosis coding. The module focuses on differentiating preoperative and postoperative diagnoses, understanding their impact on ICD-10-CM reporting, and selecting accurate CPT® codes based on detailed clinical documentation. Through case-based activities and integrated surgical scenarios, learners strengthen their ability to code complex procedures confidently and accurately.

This module focuses on CPT coding for anesthesia, radiology, pathology/laboratory, and medicine services in outpatient settings, while emphasizing compliance and ethical standards in medical coding. You’ll apply official CPT guidelines, documentation review techniques, and modifier rules to accurately assign codes across these major sections. In addition, the module covers professional ethics, HIPAA requirements, fraud prevention, and regulatory oversight to understand how coding accuracy, documentation integrity, and compliance work together. Through case-based activities and applied exercises, you’ll strengthen both technical coding skills and ethical decision-making essential for CPC exam success and real-world practice.

In this module, learners integrate CPT®, ICD-10-CM, and HCPCS Level II knowledge through a comprehensive outpatient coding portfolio. The module reinforces regulatory standards, sequencing accuracy, and documentation analysis while assessing overall readiness for advanced CPC® preparation.
