Elementary and Graduate Coding: Beginning and Advanced Coding

 

Graduate Coding: Advanced Workshop

Challenge Your Skills

This Advanced Coding class is NOT a continuation of the beginning class. It is not for the faint of heart or those with malaise and fatigue. After a brief review of Appendix D, you’ll spend the day coding complex scenarios that include intense study of the coding guidelines. These coding scenarios include the conditions that you’ll need to code for the HCS-D certification and recertification exam so they are an excellent study aid!

  1. Explain the relevance of OASIS data items for diagnoses to payment.
  2. Prioritize diagnoses based on clinical assessment and planned interventions.
  3. Apply specific sequencing rules as required by the Official Coding Guidelines.
  4. Describe the purpose and appropriate use of V and E codes.
  5. Use the coding manual to find codes and sequence diagnoses for home care scenarios.
  6. Discuss the relevancy of the clinical record, the official coding guidelines and other official guidance for choosing primary and secondary diagnoses.

Elementary Coding

Beginners’ Workshop

Getting the basics right is the first step in coding accuracy. This course emphasizes the official coding guidelines, Chapter 3 of the OASIS Implementation Manual, Appendix D and other official guidance. The program will provide the "background" of why we have to do what we do. Common coding errors will be identified and rectified--overuse of V codes; sequencing issues; missing 5th digits are just a few. Updated to include any CMS changes regarding ICD-9-CM coding, this full-day workshop is designed for beginner coders who have a basic understanding of home health and OASIS. We will learn how to use the coding manual and learn to apply the conventions and the basics of sequencing. Common home care diagnoses with specific sequencing rules will be discussed and presented.

  1. Identify the relationship between assessment, coding and the Plan of Care.
  2. Apply specific sequencing rules to sequence common home care diagnoses.
  3. Identify case mix diagnoses used in the Prospective Payment System.
  4. Explain the correct use of V codes for patient encounters.
  5. Apply the coding conventions, the OASIS items and particular sequencing rules to common home care diagnoses.
  6. Identify special sequencing rules for more complex conditions.
