New Codes, Changed Codes and New Interpretations

Code Changes for 2008-2009

October 1st, 2008, begins a new coding year! Ensure your agency doesn't make costly coding errors by using outdated codes on claims. There are new codes and changed codes affecting leukemia, MRSA, hypertension, breast cancer, secondary diabetes, CAD, hematuria, pressure ulcers, dialysis status, fractures and more! Find out how these codes affect billing beginning October 1. Some may be case mix diagnoses and some may impact your payment and plan of care in other ways. Don't quite understand the recent change to M0246? We'll discuss that too!

Objectives:

1. Explain why codes are changed each year effective October 

2. Identify changed and new codes that may impact home health care plans of care.

3. Identify new case mix codes.

4. Identify codes that may impact risk adjustment.

5. Explain how the updated interpretation on M0246 impacts risk adjustment.
