Provide an example of a code based on the guideline and give the full code description….for each guideline chosen.

Refer to the “ICD 10 -PCS Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting” and go to the “Medical and Surgical Section Guidelines”. All of these guidelines begin with a “B”.

From the “B” guidelines choose two guidelines and do the following for each guideline you chose:

Read the guideline to yourself and read about it in your textbook if that guideline is there. If it’s not found in your textbook, Google the guideline to understand it further.

State the Official Guideline along with the guideline id (See Attached Example of an Initial Post).

Next, re write the guideline in your own words that make sense to you and as you would write it to instruct your classmates. You can do this in either a written format or a power point format.

Provide an example of a code based on the guideline and give the full code description….for each guideline chosen.

Organize your information so that it is reader friendly, organized, and makes the information clear. (Example: Use bullets or separate your information with “white space” and don’t use sentences run together in one paragraph.)
