ICD-10-CM Coding for the Medical Practice
Failure to code to the highest degree of specificity negatively impacts reimbursement as well as utilization statistics.
Is it time to polish your medical coding skills? Attend this robust training and master proper ICD-10-CM code selection. Improve your comprehension of diagnostic coding rules and gain valuable tips for correct coding of diseases, injuries, conditions, and symptoms. The instructor will review general coding guidelines and conventions before guiding participants through chapter specific guidelines with coding exercises in 21 chapters of ICD-10-CM.
Learning Objectives
- Enhance understanding of the most current diagnostic coding guidelines.
- Solidify knowledge of classification, conventions, and proper coding of diseases and injuries.
- Learn the correct usage of the placeholder character 'X' and 7th character extensions.
- Sharpen accuracy in working with Exclude notes, coding for sequela, and proper sequencing.
- Improve diagnostic coding proficiency with practical application in a variety of specialties / chapters of ICD-10-CM.
Reliance on EMRs for proper code selection is dangerous! ICD-10-CM codes represent the first line of defense when it comes to validating medical necessity. A joint effort between the healthcare provider and the coder is essential to achieve complete and accurate documentation, code assignment, and reporting of diagnoses and procedures. Coders must know how to code to the highest degree of specificity and cross-reference to verify accuracy.
Benefits of attending this program:
- Gain confidence in your ability to discern when clinical documentation is sufficient for compliant billing.
- Learn to master challenging coding problems including adverse effects, HIV, neoplasms, diabetes, and injuries.
- Know how to use the Z codes for preventative services.
- Experience coding in a variety of chapters/specialties including behavioral disorders, childbirth, infectious disease, fractures, neoplasms, diabetes, ulcers, and much more.
- Be equipped to curb error rates and denials to improve your practice's bottom line.
- Access to digital companion materials that serve as an ongoing resource beyond the classroom.
