Abstract: | ICD-10-CM requires very specific documentation to correctly choose diagnostic codes, a skill that both coders and physicians must master to code successfully. Moving beyond the transition to ICD-10, the new edition focuses on the key role proper documentation plays in supporting medical necessity. ICD-10-CM Documentation 2017 brings coders and physicians together to ensure documentation success, identifying all ICD-10-CM documentation requirements using detailed checklists. Designed for use alongside an ICD-10-CM codebook, this comprehensive training guide provides all the tools necessary to conduct an effective documentation analysis and to create a corrective action plan, making it ideal for both non-facility and facility coders. The chapter organization mirrors the structure of codebooks and all guidance is geared toward the process of code decision-making. In addition, exercises and quizzes test knowledge and understanding of key points throughout the book. Accurate coding requires access to the up-to-date ICD-10-CM code set found in this resource. Don't rely on outdated information! ... End of chapter quizzes - dive into coding practice with the conditionsdiscussed in each chapter. Target Audience Coding professionals, physicians, allied health professionals, medical office staff, coding consultants, trainers, insurance practitioners, hospital billing offices (inpatient and outpatient) and insurance carrier staff. |
