CPT Coding: Hemic, Lymphatic, Mediastinum, and Diaphragm Procedures (30,000 Series)

Healthcare coding procedures can become extremely complex as the procedures and surgeries grow in complexity as well. In order to properly code the procedures and services provided for each patient, healthcare professionals who work in billing require a fundamental understanding of the Surgery section of the CPT and it's various subsections.

Specifically, this section covers the Hemic and Lymphatic systems - the spleen, lymph nodes, and lymphatic channels, as well as bone marrow and stem cell procedures. Also within this section is coding for Mediastinum and Diaphragm services - those areas between the lungs and the muscles that make up the diaphragm. Though less common, billing professionals who master these skills will be essential to any medical practice.

After completing this resource, learners will be able to:

• Assign codes to the hemic and lymphatic systems services
• Assign codes to mediastinum and diaphragm services
• Identify procedures relating to the spleen and corresponding systems
