Key Features and Benefits:
- Highlighted coding instructional informational notes. Recognize important
code usage guidance for specific sections more easily with highlighted notes.
- Symbols identify MCC and CC conditions. Ensure appropriate reimbursement
by reporting patient severity correctly. Know when conditions are considered a complication
or comorbidity, as well as which are major CCs that impact MS-DRG assignment.
- Hospital-acquired condition (HAC) alerts. Know which conditions,
when not present upon admission, will not impact DRG assignment.
- Adjunct procedure code alert. Learn how to properly use ICD-9-CM
procedure codes that provide additional information only and cannot be used alone
- Coding instructional note alerts. Avoid missing important ICD-9-CM
coding instruction critical to accurate coding.
- MCC and CC codes paired with principal diagnosis exclusions. Identify
at a glance if the assigned complication or comorbidity code will impact MS-DRG assignment
based on the established principal diagnosis (PDx).
- HIV major related diagnosis code alert. Understand when a diagnosis
entered as a secondary diagnosis with HIV will group the case to a higher paying MS-DRG
974-976 for improved reimbursement.
- Additional digit required symbols. Know when an additional
fourth or fifth digit is required for code specificity and validity to avoid invalid
code submissions (provided in Index and Tabular Section).
- Wrong surgery edit. Spot cases in which the wrong surgery was performed
and are then exempt from reimbursement.
- Diagnosis Medicare Code Edit (MCE) alerts. Color-coding and
symbols identify all major Medicare Code Edits (MCE) used to audit claims submitted
under the inpatient prospective payment system (IPPS) for diagnosis, including unacceptable
PDx, questionable admission PDx, age, sex, CC and MCC, and manifestation codes.

with alerts to all major Medicare edits pertaining to procedures—valid OR procedures,
non-covered, limited coverage, non-operating room procedures affecting DRG assignment,
bilateral edits, and sex edits.

and reimbursement issues quickly with alerts on the same page as the code you need.
