ICD-10 Diagnosis Coding with Margaret Skurka

January 23rd 2020, 12pm EST

Electronic health records and on-line ICD-10 look up have made it easy to find a diagnosis code, and quicker than using the index and ICD-10 book. But, is the code accurate and does using it follow the Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting in ICD-10, including chapter specific instructions? This hour-long webinar will review the Official Guidelines FY 2020 , used for coding outpatient physician services. In addition, it will cover these issues:

How to code the ICD-10-CM diagnosis for preventive exams, screening tests, and labs ordered at a preventive visit for a patient with a known condition
When to use history of cancer and when to continue to use the neoplasm diagnosis
How to code follow up visits after a patient is discharged for a condition that is no longer present, but is still being treated (e.g. pulmonary embolism)

Bring your tough ICD-10 questions. Margaret Skurka, our guest presenter,

will answer them.

After the presentation, participants will be able to:

Describe where to find and how to use the Official Coding Guidelines that describe diagnosis coding in any setting (which includes the physician office)
Select codes for screening services and diagnostic services accurately
Know when to use “history of” codes

Learn what’s new in the CPT^® code book for 2020. This high-level overview will provide a summary of the changes in store for your practice. Now that the code sets are active, it is important for practices to dive in, and see what’s deleted, changed and added.

Participants will learn which specialties will see the most changes and how to tell at a glance if their specialty will have many or few changes. This session will review the key symbols CPT^® uses and describe the information a practice can know from these.

What’s new this year? CPT^® codes for on-line digital management, skin codes for grafting, insertion and removal of drug delivery systems, and a smattering of new surgical codes. The radiology section has changes in definitions for a few exams and additions. The medicine section has new biofeedback codes, and new and deleted codes for health behavior assessment.

Have your CPT^® book handy for this webinar.

After the seminar, participants will be able to:

Define the symbols CPT^® uses to indicate new and changed codes
