No matter how well a provider follows an evidence-based definition in diagnosing and documenting a patient’s condition, and no matter how well a coder follows the conventions outlined in the official recommendations and ICD-10, auditors often insert their own interpretation of disease definitions and supporting clinical indicators to declare that a code is clinically invalid and can be removed or denied.
To prevent denials or claim removals, NJHA Healthcare Business Solutions is offering Recognizing Clinical Indicators for Bullet-Proof Coding as a webinar on three separate dates: Feb. 15., Mar. 13 or April 17.
Participants in the webinar will:
- Learn to recognize clinical indicators to correctly assign codes
- Gain an understanding of the link between coding and quality
- Learn to correctly code and query for complications of care, and
- Identify appropriate uses for codes in topics including sepsis, ventilators, poisoning and adverse effects, debridement, obstetrics, heart failure, malnutrition and secondary diagnoses.
Register your coding team for one of the three sessions now.
