SUMMARY:Coding for Inpatient Rehabilitation: A Complex Road to Recovery
DESCRIPTION:If inpatient Rehabilitation coding intimidates you\, this webinar will give you the confidence you need to succeed. This presentation introduces inpatient rehabilitation with information about the inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) prospective payment system using the Patient Assessment Instrument (PAI)\, and digs into that PAI to help the coder identify etiology\, comorbid conditions\, and other assessment variables. Then differences between IRF-PAI and UB-04 coding will be reviewed\, along with key documentation elements needed for accurate diagnosis coding.

SUMMARY:On-Demand Webinar Release: Principles of Principal Diagnosis Selection
DESCRIPTION:One of the most challenging aspects of inpatient coding is identification of the principal diagnosis.

SUMMARY:On-Demand Webinar Release: Social Determinants of Health: What’s the Big Deal?
DESCRIPTION:Social determinants of health is THE buzz term for providers\, clinicians\, coders\, and HIM generalists… but what’s the big deal?

SUMMARY:On-Demand Webinar Release: Vascular Interventional Radiology Coding: A Practical Approach Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Vascular interventional radiology is one of the most difficult areas of CPT coding. Understanding the rules is one thing\, but applying them is a whole other webinar. This is that webinar series! This presentation is for the coder who has some experience in VIR coding and would like to expand their knowledge by working through some cases. This step-by-step demonstration will walk through authentic procedure reports while the presenter discusses pertinent anatomy and coding guidelines. In Part 2\, we code embolization\, thrombectomy\, and thrombolysis procedures. \nObjectives: \n\nIdentify an operative field for the purpose of embolization\nDetermine when a code for diagnostic angiography can be coded with an embolization\nDistinguish between primary and secondary thrombectomy\nAssign CPT codes to procedure reports\n\nPresenter: Kristi Pollard\, RHIT\, CCS\, CPC\, CIRCC\, AHIMA-Approved ICD-10-CM/PCS Trainer

SUMMARY:On-Demand Webinar Release: Ensure Your Coding is Correct with Medicare National Coding Initiative Edits (NCCI)
DESCRIPTION:This webinar provides a general introduction and review of NCCI coding policies and instructions. The webinar includes an overview of Hospital PTP Edits and Practitioner PTP Edits.\nThrough the use of case examples\, coders will evaluate correct and incorrect examples of unbundled procedures. NCCI modifier requirements and application will also be discussed. \nObjectives: \n\nDiscuss and evaluate the Procedure-to-Procedure code pair edits and Medically Unlikely Edits (MUEs)\nDiscuss the distinction between facility and practitioner edits\nAnalyze appropriate and inappropriate unbundling examples and NCCI modifiers\n\nPresenter: Tamara Jones\, RHIT\, CPC\, CPMA\, CRC

SUMMARY:On-Demand Webinar Release: Preventing Errors When Assigning AWV and Annual Physical Codes
DESCRIPTION:Preventive visits\, Annual physicals\, Annual wellness visits\, AWVs are all the same thing right? Not so fast. These terms are often used interchangeably when they should not be. A preventive medicine visit and an AWV are very different things. In this webinar we explore the differences in these preventive services\, review the requirements for each and review documentation examples to get you on your way to understanding which code should be used. \nObjectives: \n\nDefine an annual physical and preventive medicine visit\nDefine an IPPE and AWV service\nIdentify the differences between each types of preventive service\nRecognize which code should be applied based on service provided and documented\n\nPresenter: Emily Lomaquahu\, CPC\, CPMA\, CEDC

SUMMARY:On-Demand Webinar Release: Depth Perception: How Deep is that Lesion?
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to coding excision of lesions\, determining the depth of the lesion and extent of the repair is the first step in deciding if you will have a CPT code from the Integumentary or Musculoskeletal subsections.

SUMMARY:On-Demand Webinar Release: Flushing out Kidney Anatomy\, Disease Processes\, and ICD-10-CM Coding
DESCRIPTION:ICD-10-CM diagnostic coding for the urinary system requires a strong grasp of urinary anatomy and disease processes. In this webinar\, we will delve into the anatomy and pathophysiology associated with the urinary system and its impact on other body systems.
