A TWO DAY DIAGNOSTIC CODING WORKSHOP

This workshop is structured to develop ICD-10-CM coding skills and foster good habits crucial to coding success. This critical foundational knowledge, along with application through workshop exercises and coding scenarios, will lead to coding accuracy and regulatory compliance.

This workshop is appropriate for all levels of coders that are familiar with the foundational concepts of coding. Please read “Additional Workshop Details” that follow.

OUTLINE

· Awareness of the Differences Between “Clinical Speak” & the Language of Coding

· Selection & Sequencing Criteria for Primary & Secondary Diagnoses

· Instruction for Proper Use of the ICD-10-CM Coding Manual

· Recognition & Use of Coding Conventions & Guidelines for Accurate Code Selection

· Emphasis on New ICD-10-CM Guidance

· Discussion OASIS Concepts Related to Home Health Coding

· Exercises & Scenarios to Reinforce Critical Knowledge for Successful Coding

ADDITIONAL WORKSHOP DETAILS:

This highly interactive class is structured to foster competence and confidence when assigning ICD-10-CM codes.  It is MANDATORY to bring an ICD-10-CM Coding Manual to fully participate in the class and complete application exercises that reinforce the concepts covered in the workshop.

If you are relatively new to coding or not familiar with the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting for 2017, it is highly recommended that you review pages 8 – 18 of the document found at: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/icd/10cmguidelines_2017_final.pdf prior to the workshop.  These pages describe and define the foundational concepts of Coding Conventions (Section I.A) & General Coding Guidelines (Section I.B) that will facilitate your understanding of concepts to be covered in class.  While we will touch on this material and these terms will be used throughout the workshop, they will not be covered extensively in class. Your pre-class efforts will greatly enhance your learning experience.
 

Special emphasis on how to use source documents will assist coders in knowing where to look for guidance when coding in their agencies.

The most current version of ICD-10-CM coding manual is available from OASIS Answers at this link: www.oasisanswers.com/products or by calling 425-868-2304.
