One fellow coder said to me that she went to AAOS meeting and was told that coders should not do the coding for the surgery and that the Dr should be the one coding because the Dr knows what was preformed and not the coder.
I must say! I disagree,
I have always coded from the operative report and if the Dr documented everything well, I think we are within our scope the code it.
Anyone has an opinion on this???
