ICD-10-CM’s guidelines can be confusing!
This video covers the general coding guidelines, including guidelines that apply only to inpatients or only to outpatients. Inpatient and outpatient settings are defined.
If you give me a "Superthanks" of $5 or more, I will send you a copy of the slides for this video! Click Thanks under the video (the heart with $). List your email in the reply. Thank you!
The video Includes guidelines for coding acute and chronic conditions, impending, threatened and borderline conditions, documentation requirements, coding for signs and symptoms, coding for sequelae and complications, coding for comparative/contrasting conditions, laterality, syndromes, and cancelled procedures. Also discussed is the difference between principal diagnosis and first-listed diagnosis. Then a step by step way to select the correct code is presented, with a practice operative report.
I would love to hear from you! See links below.
