The online Beyond the Basics Coding for OMS is Level II of the Coding Certificate Program (CCP). The AAOMS Beyond the Basics Coding for OMS online course provides the same content as the in-person Beyond the Basics Coding Workshop. It is an intermediate-level course that concentrates on topics based on the AAOMS Parameters of Care, OMS-specific procedural coding for medical and dental, coding complications and medical record documentation. This course features comprehensive content to address coding guidance for the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery. In addition to existing coding assistance for anesthesia services, bone grafting, fractures, extractions and implants, this course offers insights into coding dentoalveolar procedures such as surgical exposure and uprighting, soft-tissue procedures, incision and drainage, cleft palate/lip procedures, wound debridement and repairs. This course also delves into ICD-10-CM coding principles relating to neoplasms, sequelae, complications and Z codes. Attendees will learn 2025 CDT coding updates for nerve dissection, partial extractions for implant placement and administration of neuromodulators and dermal fillers along with billing guidance on the expanded Medicare dental benefit as well as billing for facility-based dental services. Additionally, instruction is provided on E/M coding and documentation guidelines. Participants must have a basic understanding of CDT, CPT and ICD-10-CM in order to comprehend the content in this course. Basic coding knowledge or completion of the AAOMS Basic Coding for OMS and ICD-10-CM for OMS online courses is highly recommended before participating in this course.
Learning Objectives:
- Demonstrate compliance through appropriate documentation (e.g., use of E/M guidelines) for services provided.
- Review proper diagnosing principles of neoplasms, sequelae and application of 7th characters.
- Examine coding guidelines for anesthesia, applying associated modifiers and other coding trends.
- Describe the relationship of coding to third-party payers and its effects on reimbursement.
- Analyze clinical case studies to code OMS-specific procedures for fractures, TMJ, implants, biopsies and more.
This course consists of multiple units. To complete each unit, you will need your printed course manual and current coding books (ICD-10-CM, CPT, HCPCS Level II and CDT).
For optimal viewing, Chrome or Firefox are recommended browsers.
