Surgeons don’t want their documentation of a postoperative complication to negatively affect their physician profile. Getting appropriate documentation of such conditions is necessary to accurately capture patient conditions and reimbursement.
During this live two-hour audio conference our speakers will provide tools to help you bridge the gap between clinical language, physician concerns, and coding requirements. They will present case studies for common conditions that lead to postoperative complications .
Note: Participants should have inpatient coding experience, patient quality reporting experience, and a general familiarity with the basic coding guidelines and definitions of postoperative complications.
