Product Description:
New official ICD-9-CM coding guidelines that took effect November 15 alter the way that hospitals must report sepsis, pain management, the new present-on-admission indicator on the UB-04, and more. You can find the guidelines at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Web site at www.cdc.gov/nchs/datawh/ftpserv/ftpicd9/icdguide06.pdf.
The most important step that an HIM director/coding manager can take is simply to bring the guidelines to thecoding staff's attention, experts say.
