Overview: This session will review the changes to the Chapter Guidelines, and provide an overview of the changes in the most common codes in every Chapter of the ICD-10-CM code set. Correct coding and documentation is the key to reimbursement. Many other aspects of patient care, such as lab orders, EMR use, quality measures and clinical studies are among the many areas that will be affected.
This session will discuss the increased documentation required to support ICD-10 codes. An explanation of the changes, as well as discussion of the additional elements of documentation, will prepare clinicians for the ICD-10 transition
