Are you coding open vascular or endovascular procedures or a combination of the two? Coding Strategies has some excellent online coding modules you can take for endovascular coding. They list it as interventional radiology training (because interventional radiologists perform a lot of the same endovascular procedures as vascular surgeons), but this curriculum gives a great overview of endovascular coding: https://training.codingstrategies.c...etail/ivr-interventional-radiology-curriculum.
Dr. Z of Z Health Publishing is also a great resource for vascular coding! I cannot recommend highly enough getting a monthly subscription to his Q&A blog ($29.95 a month). He doesn't have online classes, but does sell endovascular and vascular surgery reference books which are excellent: https://zhealthpublishing.com/
Finally, I have a website designed to help surgical coders in various specialties including vascular surgery. I don't have complete coding courses at the moment (long-term goal), but I do have some free articles online for vascular topics like AV fistula interventions, angiograms, etc. My website is codingmastery.com. Feel free to check out anything that helps you. If you have a topic you'd like to hear more about, I also take suggestions for future articles so feel free to reach out through my contact form on the web page.
I hope that helps to get you started. Vascular surgery can be challenging starting out, but it's also a lot of fun once you have the basics down
Have a great night

Wow! Thanks so much for your response. It's a combination of the two.
This does help get me started. If you do hear of any seminars please keep me in mind.
Thanks again and happy coding,
