[NPInfo] need down and dirty on coding.

[Carla Anderson]

This link is wonderful, and a great learning tool, but is it geared only for alf and ltc facility coding? Or do I need to get to another page?   Is there something like this for office or outpatient clinic coding? Anyone know of one? Thank you, Carla

Maggie, 

This is wonderful. 

Also if you go to: http://www687.outtech.com/codingtest/default.aspx 
you'll find the power point presentation that discusses the 2006 changes as
well as shares documentation guidelines and sample case studies for the
documentation. Includes both nursing facilities and assisted living. You
can also reach the test from the above link as well.

Nice find!

Paula,

Here's a link that should help.

http://www687.outtech.com/codingtest/reg_cpt.htm

It's a site where you can practice coding. Registration is free. The 
coding numbers are from 2006 and LTC codes have changed but are quite 
similar. If what you need is practice, this should help. I also have a 
tool I used in LTC that was quick, easy, accurate. I'll fax/mail it to 
you when I find it.
