BID-312 — Medical Billing & Codingicd-10
Effective October 13, 2013, the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will require that the standard ICD-9 code sets, which are used in medical billing and coding to report health care diagnoses and procedures, be replaced by ICD-10. This move from ICD-9 to ICD-10 will have a significant impact on healthcare providers and the process for which they receive reimbursement. This program will include a detailed review of both ICD-10 (diagnostic coding) and ICD-10-PCS (inpatient procedural coding system). Additional program elements include: differences between ICD-9 and ICD-10; federal regulation / compliance; using the ICD-10 Manual; how and when to use the ICD-10-PCS; issues surrounding the implementation of ICD-10; documentation challenges; analyzing electronic coding tools; coding from chart notes; coding from operative reports; and detailed hands on coding exercises and case studies using ICD-10. This course is ideal for experienced students interested in a career in medical coding and for current coding professionals looking for and update and review of the issues and challenges they will face with the upcoming ICD-10 adoption.
