Participants will:p
Review appropriate use of ICD10 diagnostic codes.
Understand appropriate procedural coding and specific codes for common PAG procedures.
Compare different ways to code for certain Compare different ways to code for certain procedures and determine the most effective codes to utilize.
2
Codes condense a lot of information Medical procedures, diagnoses, and supplies are identified by codes
Cycle from treatment to payment is streamlined
3
Compliance issues: p
Physician is responsible for the information on every claim that leaves the office.
Codes and coding rules change every year
To enable fair, timely reimbursement
Only the physician knows what occurred during Only the physician knows what occurred during the patient encounter.
To have direct input into the process of creating and valuing codes
Correct coding implies g pthe selection is:
Most accurate description of “what” and “why”
Supported by documentation documentation
Consistent with coding guidelines
4
Document whatwas done
Document why it was done
Code for what you document

“I don’t really want ya diagnosis. What diseases have you got for under $50?”
Physicians are paid for medical services they y p yprovide
Clinical need for each service must be justified by a code from ICD‐9/10 CM
ICD‐9/10 code must support level of service reported reported
All clinically relevant diagnoses should be reported
6
Often more than one diagnosis appliesg pp
Primary diagnosis is the one chiefly responsible for the service(s)
Report other diagnoses that are treated at the encounter
Report coexisting conditions affecting treatment Report coexisting conditions affecting treatment
Do not code a diagnosis no longer applicable!
Report “history of” codes (V10‐V19) if influence treatment
CONVENTION ICD‐9‐CM ICD‐10‐CM
# of codes Approximately 13,000 codes
Approximately 68,000 available codes
# of characters 3‐5 digits in length 3‐7 characters in length
Types of characters First digit can be alpha (V, E) or numeric; digits2‐5 are numeric; most
d i
Character 1 is alpha; character 2 is numeric; characters 3‐7 are alpha icodes are numeric or numeric
Code capacity Limited space foradding new codes
Flexible for adding new codes
Specificity Lacks detail Very specific
Laterality: Right vs Left Lacks laterality Has laterality
7
V and E codes incorporated into main classifications
Injuries classified by by specific site instead of type
Postoperative complications moved to system h tchapters
Combination codes: single code that describes 2 diagnoses, diagnosis with associated secondary process or complication
