Prior to her work with the University of North Texas and PMI, Libby ran her own billing and consulting firm. Her expertise consisted of keeping her clients abreast of the latest coding updates, and government rules and regulations for correct reimbursement.

Accurately reporting the severity of illness for patients has never been more important. With new payment models, diagnosis coding can impact incentive payments and negative payment adjustments along with utilization, quality measures, and patient satisfaction.

Learn how coding to the greatest level of specificity changes your reimbursement. The CMS Risk Adjustment Model of Hierarchical Coding Conditions (HCC) scoring affects reimbursement regardless of what CPT code is billed. The CMS Risk Adjustment Model implemented includes almost 80 Hierarchical Coding Conditions (HCC) categories of chronic illnesses with thousands of diagnosis codes. 

Self-paced online program includes unlimited review of previously recorded instruction for 6 months and downloadable companion materials.
