Endometriosis surgery can be among the most complex procedures performed by gynecologic surgeons, yet the systems used to code and reimburse that care don’t always reflect the work.
In this episode, Dr. Jasmine Tibon is joined by Dr. Ted Lee, a leader in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and endometriosis care, to explore the challenges surrounding endometriosis coding and how they affect surgeons and patients alike.
Drawing on decades of clinical experience and his involvement in coding reform, Dr. Lee discusses the limitations of existing procedure codes, his work to expand endometriosis diagnosis codes, and why greater specificity can improve our ability to document and study the disease.
