I code in the Psych ward of a hosp. Most patients there are elderly and are in for Alzheimers and Dementia. I know that if someone has suicidal intentions that that is High MDM. I don't see High MDM for Alzheimers or Dementia but am I wrong? What are your thoughts?
 
It could be a combo of things that get you to a high MDM when auditing. I do have a psych specific table of risk if you would like me to fax it to you? The tabe of risk is only 1 of 3 things to look at to determine overal MDM level though.

I don't know if you were able to post to the website and I hate to ask at such a late date now, but would love to have a copy sent via email if possible. I'm new at Psych billing so would appreciate any tools I can get my hands on. Thanks is advance. leeleevette@aol.com
 
I think I got it loaded in a zip file. Thanks so much for sharing it! Let me know if you can't open it and I will try again.

Thanks again.

I now have the document scanned. It is too big to attach here. Is there a way to downsize it?

Did you ever find out what book this came from? I code for a phychiatric group and have been using this risk table but now I have been asked for the reference. Please advise.

Thank you so very much!
 
Hi 1073358,

Here is the faq info on how to attach files to posts:

How do I attach a file to a post?
To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'. To use the main 'New Post' page, click the 'Post Reply' button in the relevant thread.

On this page, below the message box, you will find a button labelled 'Manage Attachments'. Clicking this button will open a new window for uploading attachments. You can upload an attachment either from your computer or from another URL by using the appropriate box on this page. Alternatively you can click the Attachment Icon to open this page.

To upload a file from your computer, click the 'Browse' button and locate the file. To upload a file from another URL, enter the full URL for the file in the second box on this page. Once you have completed one of the boxes, click 'Upload'.

Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window. You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
 
Could I please have the information also. Here is my efax 1-(541)242-8043

Thank you so much.

Teresa
