Intermediate Home Care Coding
Think you have the basics down pat? We start with a quick overview of fundamental coding skills and, then, progress to coding in PPS, with special attention to coding the case mix diagnoses appropriately. Those who code accurately shouldn稚 miss out on the case mix points that less skilled coders may miss, nor should they be accused of upcoding. With governmental entities and contractors such as the OIG, PGBA and the ZPICs targeting homecare, this is the time to ensure that your coders are coding correctly and to protect your revenue. This class will provide plenty of opportunity to try out your skills in coding common home care scenarios, along with more complex scenarios. Application of the official guidance is the name of the game. Find out how diagnoses affect your outcomes and discuss those diagnoses causing problems in medical review. This seminar is a good preparatory for taking the HCS-D exam, which will be offered.
