Wiki New Coder for an Pathology Office

[miescha18]

Hello,

I got CPC certified in May 2017 and I want to know what are more resources should I be using or looking up for a pathology lab?


Thank you for any advice you may have.

HIGHLY recommend APF Pathology Service Coding Handbook: https://www.apfconnect.org/pathology-service-coding-handbook.php

Every pathology group I've worked with has used it. I can't imagine coding pathology without it.

Another great source is the TCI Supercoder newsletter. It's worth every penny. You can download a free sample here: https://www.codinginstitute.com/newsletters/pathology-and-lab-coding-alert.html

I was a Pathology Transcriptionist and Coder for 22 years.
