Special Presentation: 2016 ICD-10 Guidelines Survival Guide: A Map of the Massive Hidden Changes

Thought you knew how to code ICD-10-CM? 2017 ICD-10-CM coding guidelines are here and they are going to blow those beliefs!  For years we have developed certain fundamentals regarding the application of ICD-10-CM codes and documentation on how codes are assigned. Clarifications, revisions and brand new guidelines are here to shake up everything we thought we knew about diagnostic coding. This webinar is going to outline all those changes, how to interpret them and properly assign based on recent changes.

Overview:

  • Key changes and revisions to guidelines
  • Written guidance from CMS and OIG that may negate a new guideline (or at least make it clear as mud!)
  • How to tell when you need documentation and when you don’t
