If the physician uses words such as excision, resection, orremoval in the documentation, coders are obligated to:



• interpret the physician's description in light of the Root Operation definitions.

• assign the Root Operation using the exact words in the documentation.

• query the physician which Root Operation was performed.

• use their personal knowledge of the physician's methods to select a Root Operation.
