Case List Tip:
While you still have time to compile your case list, it’s wise to start organizing early. A great first step is to pull your master list of surgical and non-surgical cases. If you have an administrative liaison in the finance department, they can assist by running a report with patient names and corresponding ICD-10 codes. This will provide a well-organized foundation for compiling your list. You can also use this diagnostic list to quickly identify cases for your office categories. Don’t forget, the ABC UPRS Virtual Course is scheduled for
January 24-26. During the course, we will offer valuable sessions on templates and tips to help you create a case list that aligns with ABOG standards, ensuring a smooth submission process and minimizing anxiety about submitting a sub-optimal list.
