Hi, do your pathologists know of the 130+ new endometriosis codes starting 10/1/2022? I am completely betting not ~ my pathology teams are usually in the midst of this but when I asked my favorite pathologist (medical director) late Wednesday if she was aware of this, she wasn't so I am clearly baffled on this. I shared all my intel "pictures of my new coding book" along with the picture of my prior coding book to compare and ask for guidance TO THE NEW THREE PAGES THAT WE HAVE to code from moving forward. I don't expect my pathologist(s) to code these accessions but be knowledgeable so that when they are documenting these cases with their final interpretation that they are stating laterality (right or left) or bilateral, location (example: posterior versus anterior cul-de-sac), superficial versus deep when it is absolutely possible for ICD code selection. Also please be sure to review "endometrioma" in our new ICD book N80.12x.
Thank you for listening and have a wonderful evening,
