Supportive and Competent Medical Coding and Test Prep Skills.
Make sure that you read the Pre-operative diagnosis and Post operative diagnoses. Sometimes these are not the same. I would then look at the approach taken. This area of the report has some great information in it. I would look to see how many surgeons/Physicians are on the case. How many nurse practitioners as well. Read the case to find out exactly what they are doing and visualize it for yourself. If they are cutting through layers of skin and muscles visualize that as well. You need to put yourself there doing it. This is helpful if you have had experience in the operation area. Case studies are lengthy but there are short cuts if you know what to look for. I hope this has been helpful.
