ICD-9-CM Coding Essentials: Chicago, IL
What Every CDI Specialist Needs to Know
Jun 02, 2010
Chicago, IL
Overview
This one-day seminar taught by Shannon McCall, RHIA, CCS, CCS-P, CPC, director of HIM/coding for HCPro, Inc., provides an in-depth session on ICD-9-CM inpatient coding, the MS-DRGs system, and the forthcoming switch to ICD-10-CM. Tailored for clinical documentation specialists, participants will walk away with a firm understanding of how to use the ICD-9-CM Manual, the fundamentals of principal diagnosis assignment, and how to assign the correct MS-DRG to cases with an MCC/CC, as well as non–MCC/CC cases.
CDI specialists who are familiar with coding will also walk away with valuable information on coding guidelines for problematic diagnoses, including postoperative anemia, altered mental status vs. encephalopathy, and sepsis/septicemia. McCall will demonstrate the organizational structure and use of the ICD-9-CM Manual.
Participants will also learn how to assign the correct MS-DRG to cases and help avoid troublesome coder/CDI MS-DRG conflicts.
Finally, McCall will introduce the fiscal year 2010 ICD-9-CM codes and any important changes to the IPPS and MS-DRGs. She will focus specifically on those codes and MS-DRGs that affect CDI specialists’ day-to-day medical record reviews and physician queries.
