Overview

One of the most common hard tissue surgical procedures that is billable to medical insurance is bone grafting.  In this module, we will introduce hard tissue surgery coding principles. An exercise to code a maxillary bone graft (sinus lift) surgery and write the LMN to accompany the claim is included.

NOTE: This is an advanced level module and assumes that the viewer is fundamentally sound in basic medical billing protocols, understands ICD10 and CPT codes, completion of the CMS 1500 claim form, and understands how to be paid by medical insurance as covered in the FUNDAMENTALS course.
