Findings from MedLearn consulting experts
MedLearn consulting experts speak from their real-world experiences regarding the potential benefits of Breast Procedure Coding Guide to healthcare organizations:

Coding for multiple breast interventions - "In facilities that perform breast interventions, we see a great deal of confusion regarding the coding rules for multiple modalities and interventions in the same encounter. For example, in certain situations, facilities may perform ultrasound and mammography procedures on the same day of service, but don't understand that they can bill for both modalities. Under-coding, as well as over-coding or simply assigning the wrong codes, are increasing the risk of regulatory noncompliance and, in many instances, affecting reimbursement. Breast Procedure Coding Guide explains how to properly code for multiple modalities and interventions."
