  Coding Billing Auditing Compliance Mgmt

Overview:

The "mystique of complexity"- what a concept. Many ideas are really not that complicated, but making it seem that way will hurt our efforts rather than help them.

In this webinar, we will explore how to simplify the changes in ICD-10 and communicate them effectively with your clinicians. Although we have increased the number of terms significantly, OB, Mental Health and Orthopedics are affected the most. You will learn how to break ICD-10 down clinically so the clinicians will understand how it works, as well as strategies to educate the doctors so the transition will go as smoothly as it can.

You Will Learn:

• What are the biggest changes and what types of specialties will be affected the most
• When and how to approach the clinicians regarding the changes
• Clinical impacts of ICD-10: myth, lore and legends
• Billing impacts of ICD-10: more myths, lore and legend - what are the insurance companies going to require?
• Specificity: what is really necessary?
• Creating tools in the Electronic Medical Record to assist clinicians find the correct codes

CEU approved for all CPCs, CPC-Hs, and CPC-Ps.
