Medical Billing and Coding Program ICD-10 Medical Coding Program Effective October 2015, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 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 health care 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. Note: This course is ideal for current coding professionals looking for an update and review of the issues and challenges they will face with the upcoming ICD-10 adoption. You must have a foundation with ICD-9. Course contact hours: 50 hrs. |
