This intermediate-level course concentrates on topics based on the AAOMS Parameters of Care, OMS-specific procedural coding for medical and dental, reimbursement issues, audit tips, coding complications and medical record documentation. The workshop features comprehensive content to address coding guidance for the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery. In addition to existing coding guidance for anesthesia services, bone grafting, fractures, extractions and implants, this course offers insight into coding dentoalveolar procedures such as surgical exposure, surgical uprighting, tissue transfer, I&Ds, cleft palate/lip procedures, trauma, debridement and wound repairs. This course also includes instruction on the E/M coding and documentation changes that took effect in 2021 and 2023. Participants must have a basic understanding of CDT, CPT and ICD-10-CM. Basic coding knowledge or completion of the AAOMS Basic Coding for OMS and ICD-10-CM for OMS online courses is highly recommended before participating in this course.
