Hi Good Evening Pathology Colleagues,
Tonight, I had the sincere opportunity to present my "101 to Cytology" presentation hybrid style and had such a wonderful time. A personal thank you to all those that could join the presentation this evening ~ it is very much appreciated.
With 2023 on the horizon and with our AAPC Chapters planning their upcoming events, I'd like to be proactive and maybe "pick your brains" to find out what type of future presentation(s) I could be planning to share please?
I also have a few other questions too. Is a 1.5-hour meeting like this evening appropriate, or is that considered too long or to short, and why? Is it better to do it as a "hands on training" where coders have a small allotment of time to locate CPT and ICD assignment or would it be more appropriate to just place the information in slides and just present and explain? Tonight's presentation was simply a spin off from a surgical hands-on pathology coding 101 presentation I did "in house" for our local AAPC chapter two years ago. So, I am really unsure if that was the correct way to go or not?
Some of the ideas I had driving home this evening after the presentation was possibly doing another surgical pathology presentation - but that is so broad. If there are areas that need help with coding (examples: renal biopsies, breast biopsies, dermatology biopsies), so forth? I also have the when to "bundle" or possibly "unbundle" specimen presentation in mind, but time would be a factor on this type of presentation.
Again, I do appreciate any insight and appreciate any feedback.
Thank you in advance and have a wonderful evening,
Dana Chock, CPC, CANPC, CHONC, CPMA, CPB, RHIT
