" Lower Extremity Coding with Dr. Jeffrey Lehrman, Certified Professional Coder - DCLS S1E2"

Drs. Jensen and Richey discuss with Dr. Lehrman a coding summary, an educational tool that can benefit every client, practicing podiatrist, resident, and student. The summary can be seen in graphic form at the end of the podcast.

o Developed to provide general coding guidance based on commonly accepted standards and interpretations of ICD-10 diagnostic coding and CPT procedural coding principles.
o To be used solely as a guideline to assist practitioners. Final coding decisions remain the responsibility of the provider.
o Significant thought, expertise, and clinical experience has gone into the development of this summary. BakoDx enlisted the insight of Dr. Jeffrey Lehrman, a well-respected advisor and certified cod, and with support from Dr. Wayne Bakotic, Dr. William Scherer, as well as Shawna, Jasmine and compliance approval from Donna Millard.
o Ensuring broad distribution supports consistency, compliance awareness, and informed clinical documentation practices across the podiatric medical community. Our goal is to provide clarity, enhance understanding, and empower providers with reliable reference material, while reinforcing that this document remains a guideline and not a substitute for independent coding judgment or payer specific policies.

Enjoy!!
