I would like to see more scenarios. I enjoyed seeing what better documentation can do to a RAF score.
Great speaker and knowledgeable on the information presented.
Thank you
Webinars are always great and informative.
If it’s not documented, we cannot code it! Also learned that amputations and mental health plays a role in HCC coding.
Great discussion on impact in revenue with queries
This has been my favorite webinar so far.
This was a great course that went over all the codes in the shoulder/elbow section of the MSK codes. Being guided through the op notes was especially helpful. Last but not least, I love the doggies that help cheer you on!!!
