Introduction to ICD-10-CM For Home Health. Thurs. Aug. 30, 1 p.m. ET. You should be doing things now to help prepare for the transition to the new diagnosis coding system. Maintaining steady progress with ongoing training is imperative -- your agency's revenue depends on it! Join coding expert Sharon Molinari to learn about the differences between ICD-9 and ICD-10, documentation requirements, preparation tips, and more. For more information, go to www.audioeducator.com/icd-10-cm-for-home-health.html or call 1-866-458-2965.
Mastering Neuro 1 ICD-9-CM Codes. Tues. Sept. 4, 1 p.m. ET. Because your agency earns case mix points for Neuro 1 codes, your use of these codes is under more scrutiny. Join coding expert Judy Adams to learn how to gain important case mix points and correctly code Neuro 1 conditions, including acute infections of the brain and spinal cord, late effects of benign and malignant brain neoplasms and head injuries. For more information, go to www.audioeducator.com/neuro-1-icd-9-cmcodes.html or call 1-866-458-2965.
Coding of Hospice Cases. Tues. Sept. 25, 1 p.m. ET. CMS has emphasized in its 2013 hospice wage index notice that hospices must be coding more than just the primary diagnosis. Medicare's hospice Conditions of Participation require that the terminal illness and the comorbidities impacting care must be coded, and CMS says it plans to use those codes to develop a potential case mix payment system for hospice. Non-compliance and sloppiness will hurt your future payment. Join coding guru Lisa Selman-Holman to learn the ins and outs of coding for hospice patients. For more information, go to www.audioeducator.com/neuro-1-icd-9-cm-codes.html or call 1-866-458-2965.
