Top Off Learning
Goal: For ALL Urologists, APPs, Coders, and Billers to be Proficient in Urology Coding
• Learn/Review all key urology coding concepts
• Assessments to ensure comprehension
• Practice: real world scenarios with correct answers
Urology coding is complex. Almost all Urologists, APPs, Coders, and Billers have learned the details of urology coding on the fly. This type of learning leaves gaps in knowledge that are difficult to identify.
In our experience the best way to address this is by structured learning and assessments. Developing a coding training plan that includes teaching the concepts, self assessments (to test comprehension) and real world scenarios for practicing and applying the concepts.
