Coding in ICD-10-PCS presents unique coding challenges. In order to assign the correct codes, it is critical that coding professionals have a solid understanding of the root operation definitions. In this webinar, we will compare and contrast the groups and the root operations, and learn the questions to ask as you code. We will discuss coding by root operation and coding from the tables directly to help you increase your coding accuracy and speed your decision-making process.

Today's EHR documentation reflects the changes and updates to clinical decision-making, treatments, and ongoing guideline development. Devices, procedures, and therapeutics are also changing as new technologies help to improve health outcomes. Administrative data is a trove for identifying and evaluating trends and opportunities that can be used to supplement both coder and CDI continuing education.

The effective transformation of clinical processes and data into financial processes and data is still a considerable challenge for most healthcare provider organizations. The opportunity where these two domains blend often creates incomplete and sometimes inaccurate patient and clinical information leading to suboptimal reimbursement, compliance risks and potential government-imposed penalties.
This webinar will include examples and lessons learned from various hospital experiences. It will reveal strategies to rethink processes, data flow and relationships to enhance and sustain this critical juncture of providers' operations through collaboration and data driven decision making.

Recent CMS code and reimbursement changes have had a significant impact on coding for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) procedures and heart devices. In this webinar, we will provide an overview of the ICD-10-PCS procedures that are affected by these changes and discuss the MS-DRG changes related to these procedures. In addition, we will review the proposed definitions for sepsis and explore the potential impact on sepsis reporting.

With the increased use of risk-adjusted models to determine reimbursement, it is critical that coders have a solid understanding of Hierarchical Condition Categories (HCCs). This webinar reviews the HCC categories and the role they play in risk-adjusted payment models. We discuss the impact of clinical documentation on coding and the resulting HCC assignment, and review best practices for assigning & sequencing or querying for appropriate diagnosis codes.

Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) is well-established in the inpatient arena, and is now poised to extend into outpatient encounters. Understanding what needs to be done in the outpatient setting is a daunting task, as there are dozens of stakeholders who need improvements in documentation. This webinar provides an understanding of what's in store as CDI is extended to outpatient areas, and how to ultimately measure its success.
