Describe SOAP notes—subjective, objective, assessment, and plan.
Explain operative reports function in medical necessity coding.
Explain National and Local coverage determinations.
Submission Details:
Submit the report as a 5- to 10-page Microsoft Word document. Use APA standards for citations and references.
