Coding for Foot Care Questions Answered

Course Description

On August 1, we presented a webinar on proper coding, compliance, and documentation for foot care. There were over 80 questions submitted…and now we are going to answer all of them! These are excellent questions and very likely things you have wondered about yourself. With foot care being the most common service provided by podiatrists, there is no room for error or risk, and these questions must be answered. At the completion of this webinar, you will code and document confidently for the foot care services that you provide.
