are you transcribing or coding?
Subject: are you transcribing or coding?

If you are transcribing, the correct way is:

V code: Parent-child conflict.

Unless you are a certified coder, it would be wise to avoid inserting the actual code into the transcription as the MD/psychologist did not dictate it. The codes can change from year to year and you could enter the wrong code depending on the date of the service and which coding resource you are using.

Advice for transcribing lens
Subject: Advice for transcribing lens

I am new and have an ophthalmology account. I am not having much trouble with the terms, but I'm unsure how to punctuate and/or format the lens prescriptions.  Does anyone know of a good website that explains this or provides examples?  Thanks!

Subject: transcribing about NIDDM. Sounds like sulfanuria and glybizone.

I've come across a dictation that is talking about NIDDM.  It sounds like he's saying "he was initially of sulfanuria and switched insulin in Puerto Rico".  The other part is "He has never been on metformin or glybizone."  Any suggestions??

Hmmm. He's not saying "denudations" by any chance? sm
Subject: Hmmm. He's not saying "denudations" by any chance? sm

I'm thinking it might read:

Denudations x3, right second and fifth DIPJ, and right hallux.

I could be way off. I don't know what nucleations could be unless he has his own meaning for the term. Denudations would make sense if the patient had injured his foot (degloving) or if it were ulcers denuding the epithelium.

You can always just leave it and flag it "as dictated." That would cover you.

Wish I could be of more help.
