Welcome to Coffee with the Coder^®, our conversation with Paula Digby and her team to address issues, observations and questions for Health Information Management professionals, physicians, auditors, payors and students. You are invited to listen in for ten to twenty minutes every other Monday and to submit your favorite questions or comments for Coffee with the Coder^®

In Episode 65, the first question regards different price structures within the same tax ID# (such as different specialties having different fees). Next, Paula Digby is asked whether a mid-level provider can be an Assistant Surgeon for common procedures. The final question is about selecting the Principal Diagnosis for the UB-04 for an IRF patient in the Debility IGC. 

Congratulations to today’s winner, April! This “mug shot” is Linda, our winner from Episode 61.
