Description
To code or not to code? That is often the question when it comes to reporting procedures using ICD-10-PCS. If you are stuck in limbo wondering whether or not to pick up certain procedure codes, join us for this educational presentation. In this webinar, we will cover UHDDS guidelines for significant procedure as well as principal procedure. From procedures that are integral to others to procedures performed at bedside, we will give you tips and pointers for identifying significant procedures and help you refine or get started on a facility “do code/don’t code” list.
Objectives:
- Define significant procedure
- Select the principal procedure from a list of several procedures
- Acquire tools for development of a facility-specific coding policy regarding procedural reporting
