Clinical Examples in Radiology
The ACR and the American Medical Association (AMA) have collaborated on a new coding educational quarterly publication, Clinical Examples in Radiology, a practical guide to correct coding. The goal of this publication is to provide authoritative advice and guidance to help professional coders, physician practices and billing services understand he correct practical application of CPT® codes in the daily process of radiology coding. The Clinical Examples in Radiology debuted fall 2004.
The ACR is the first medical specialty with which the AMA has collaborated to produce such a publication aimed at physicians and coding specialists. ACR physicians and staff will provide the content of the publication, while the AMA will provide marketing and distribution, as well as share editorial responsibility.
Each issue on average will contain 12 pages and five sections: three to four clinical examples, coding Q&A, documentation challenges, and a 10-question self-quiz, with two interim Bulletin articles per year . Readers can obtain 2 CEU credits for completing the self-quiz.
