Accurate assignment of CPT® Genitourinary System codes (50000–53899)

Coding for Cystoscopy, TURP, Nephrectomy, Lithotripsy, and Prostate Procedures

Proper application of ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes with laterality and complication specificity

Understanding Global Surgical Package rules in urology

Appropriate use of Modifiers (25, 50, 51, 58, 59, 79, RT/LT)

Compliance with NCCI Edits and bundling guidelines

Coding for Dialysis access procedures and renal interventions

Documentation validation for medical necessity and operative report accuracy

Preventing overcoding, unbundling errors, and audit exposure

The FGUC™ – Fellowship in Genitourinary Coding goes beyond basic CPT and ICD-10 code selection. It emphasizes clinical documentation interpretation, surgical coding precision, and reimbursement optimization within urology and renal specialty practices.

This program is ideal for:

Urology Medical Coders
