Question

When reviewing activity reports, the manager notices that one coder consistently receives error messages when first attempting to submit codes for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). She reviews the most recent record of a patient who underwent a CABG. The operative report states that two coronary arteries were bypassed by grafting the left internal mammary, and two sites were treated using grafts from the saphenous vein. The coder first attempted to submit 33518 followed by 33534. What must the manager explain to the coder to avoid this error in the future?
