TOPIC: Coding Master Class (with Jan Talma)

Brenda joined the South African Private Practitioners Forum as Senior Coding Specialist in 2018. She has more than twenty years' practical/operational coding experience in local and international coding schemas. SAPPF is a vibrant and growing organisation, committed to support private practitioners in optimising service conditions and improve access to healthcare for more South African residents.
Brenda's training includes Basic International ICD-10 training (National Centre for Classification in Technology, Brisbane, Australia) and Advanced International ICD-10 training with Eve Jones from the UK.
In 2013 Brenda was appointed by the Minister of Health to be part of the Ministerial ICD-10 Task Team and to continue as chairperson of the Training Sub-Committee.
Projects driven by Brenda include the implementation and management of PMBs; clinical validations of PMB claims; the implementation of systems driven processes based on ICD-10; ensuring compliance on the different phases of the ICD-10 at organisation level for reporting to CMS and the management of CPT® contracts based on Medicare coding rules which involved Surgicom members.
As a member of the SAPPF team, Brenda advises member groups on new code development and implementation as well as coding reviews and forensic enquiries.
During 2021 and 2022 she has been responsible for a major review of general surgical coding and the introduction of new codes, both of which have required a code-by-code cross walk from CPT to the SAMA codes.
