How well you understand the venous system can influence your coding accuracy and consistency. This webcast helps build your anatomy and physiology proficiency so you can code with confidence under ICD-9 and the more detailed levels of ICD-10.
Youll learn about the unique coding categories within ICD-9 and how physician documentation will influence ICD-10. For example, ICD-10 venous insufficiency is described as: right, left, upper and lower extremity. ICD-10 identifies anatomic division between upper and lower veins.
Webcast host Jean Ann Hartzell-Minzey, RHIA, CPC, CHA, will help you:
- Expand your knowledge of the venous system
- Master key components of anatomy and physiology to support classification assignment
- Identify anatomic and physiologic keys that affect AHA Coding Clinic Guidelines, RAC denials and physician documentation variances
- Increase your coding accuracy under ICD-9 and prepare for the transition to ICD-10
This is webcast #1 in a 3-part Anatomy & Physiology Coding series.
