The genitourinary system is composed of the organs responsible for reproduction and waste elimination, including the kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra, and genital organs. It is crucial for medical coders to be well-versed in accurately assigning codes for diseases that affect these vital organs and their associated functions. Throughout the course, we will explore the guidelines, documentation requirements, and common diagnoses related to the coding of GU diseases.

We will cover various diseases and conditions that impact the genitourinary system, such as urinary tract infections, kidney stones, renal failure, prostate disorders, and reproductive organ malignancies. By the end of this course, you will have the knowledge and skills necessary to confidently assign appropriate ICD-10-CM codes for diseases of the genitourinary system, ensuring accurate and compliant medical billing and coding.
