ICD-10 CM Coding for Home Health & Hospice
June 7-8, 2017
Embassy Suites, Southfield, MI
This 2-day educational session has something for everyone! The program will span basic to intermediate level coding skills and provide intensive opportunity to test and apply your coding skills. The program will begin with a strong foundation based on discussing the Official Guidelines and conventions that provide the foundation for coding which include many significant changes from prior versions of the Guidelines. In addition the program will incorporate numerous, ongoing updates provided by the American Hospital Association Coding Clinic (AHACC) that has responsibility of producing additional official coding interpretation and guidance to augment the Coding manual and Official Guidelines.
This program offers a combination of didactic information and hands on coding practice. Emphasis is on interactive practice – whether it involves finding examples that illustrate a convention or guideline in the Coding manual, finding the best code for an individual diagnostic statement or coding sample scenarios to demonstrate accurate selection and sequencing of pertinent ICD-10-CM codes.
During this session, we will be digging deep into the “with” convention to explore the consideration and options that help decide whether you make those assumptions of linkage or not. The “with” convention is not just an automatic assumption, especially when combined with multiple causes.
Are you up-to-date on the multitude of clarifications and interpretations? If we know anything for certain about coding, it is that there are always changes!
Why is this program an ICD-10-CM Coding Intensive?
Because we will spend two days away from the phones and interruptions so we can do some intensive coding practice! Don’t miss the fun!
