### Sample Interview Questions

Can you describe your experience with multi-specialty coding, specifically in evaluation and management, radiology, and emergency department?I have coded for multiple specialties including E&M, radiology, and ED for five years. For E&M, I apply the 1995/1997 guidelines, and for radiology, I use CPT codes for various imaging modalities. In ED, I code by acuity and procedures, ensuring modifiers are applied correctly.How do you stay updated on coding changes and ensure compliance with CCI, LCD, and NCD edits?I subscribe to the AAPC newsletter and attend webinars. I also regularly check the CMS website for updates. When coding, I use encoder software that incorporates these edits, and I double-check any new or revised codes.Describe a time you identified and resolved a complex coding denial. What steps did you take?I once encountered a denial for an infusion code due to a mismatch between the billed code and the documentation. I reviewed the medical record, found the correct drug and administration details, and submitted an appeal with the supporting documentation. The denial was overturned.How do you balance speed and accuracy when meeting monthly productivity deadlines?I prioritize by volume and complexity, focusing on high-impact claims first. I use templates for common codes and double-check work after completing batches. I also communicate with supervisors early if I see a potential bottleneck.How do you handle disagreements with peers or providers about code assignment?I present the coding rationale based on guidelines and documentation. If needed, I involve a supervisor for a third-party review while maintaining a respectful tone.
