AUDIOCONFERENCE ON TAPE, CD OR AUDIO ARCHIVE

presented on July 10, 2007
What codes do I assign on the IRF-PAI and the UB-04 forms?
Should we assign the same codes on both forms? If not, why?
These questions and more are answered in our second 90-minute inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) coding show. We based this show on your feedback, which means that we provide you with ample case study scenarios that you asked for and that compare and contrast various coding scenarios using both the inpatient rehabilitation facility patient assessment instrument (IRF-PAI) and UB-04 forms.
We understand your frustration in trying to apply coding guidelines to both billing forms, which is why we have recruited our top expert speakers to relieve your frustration using case studies in which we’ll show you which codes to assign and exactly where to insert them on each form. You’ll also receive tips to stay on top of changing rules and to maintain compliance.
NOTE to purchasers.: This is an intermediate/advanced level show.
At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:
- State the difference between selecting the etiology and principal diagnosis
- Explain the use of the aftercare codes and the late effect codes
- Properly select the codes for each form
- Explain why the codes do not need to match on both the UB-04 and IRF-PAI
- Explain the importance of compliant coding in the wake of the recovery audit contractors
