Each topic will have its own page with the topic name at top and center, followed by your 250 to 300 words summary of your research (word count does not include reference ), and the references used for each topic. Recap each topic you will research and write a 200 to 300-word summary on coding each topic, include references for each topic.
As you have noticed, guidelines vary for different modalities of coding. Outpatient has a set of guidelines, and Inpatient has their own guidelines. For each of the following topics I want you to research each one to see if coding differs or if there are specific coding guidelines. Compare and contrast coding from inpatient/outpatient coding guidelines.
