Advanced Practice Clinicians (APC) ICD-10-CM Coding and Documentation Workshop
Activity description
While diagnosis coding is typically performed by a coding professional, Senior Community Care (SCC) Models of Care (MOC) require APCs to identify and select the ICD-10-CM code representing the established diagnosis. This live Coding Workshop will provide APCs with a better understanding of clinical documentation improvement practices (CDIP) and the cornerstones of ICD-10-CM coding concepts for the most common diagnoses encountered in practice. It will guide APCs in assigning the most accurate code to support the specific clinical diagnosis and will discuss how to most accurately document patient notes to the level of specificity necessary to fully describe the patient’s severity of illness.
