I need resources to train my team of coders on DM retinopathy as well as Hypertensive Retinopathy. If anyone could provide links to documents that would be great. Also, if the PT has DM and the provider states that the PT has age rellated NS cataracts, do you still code E11.36 as well as H25.XX? Thanks in advance.

Remote Coding Productivity Resources
I am trying to find more resources for national standards or regional standards on coding productivity models and what the average charges by type (Hospital, Endo, etc.) are done by other practices. I have been only marginally successful in finding an official resource that I am comfortable with to compare to and set standards.
Does anyone happen to know of any resources for this? I appreciate your time and thank you in advance!
