This exclusive ICD10monitor webcast on the documentation and coding of pneumonia will highlight strategies that are necessary to implement in order to improve physician proactiveness in documenting elements that differentiate simple pneumonia from complex pneumonia.

During this final webcast on E&M coding, Dr. Lehrman will tackle complex E&M coding scenarios. You will learn how to code for E&M visits when patients have multiple complaints. Dr. Lehrman will discuss "time" as the determining factor in E&M coding.

This webcast will demonstrate how to select the appropriate E&M code based on a patient encounter, while examining the performance, documentation, and medical necessity of the elements of E&M coding and how to use them to determine code selection.

Medical decision-making element of E&M coding, including the components of differential diagnoses, treatment options, amount and complexity of data, and risk will be discussed. Attendees will learn how to quantify each, and how each contributes to the selection of the decision-making level.

This is an exclusive ICD10monitor four-part series on the coding of E&M services. Part I covers the history and the exam components of E&M coding. You will learn the history of present illness, past medical, social, and family history, and you will benefit from a review of systems components of the history.

This webcast on acute kidney disease will give you a better understanding the physiology, terminology, and clinical findings that define acute renal failure and will help standardize the query process, thus ultimately improving the hospital's ability to reliably capture the diagnosis.

Your organization is at risk of losing revenue due to inaccurate E&M coding. That's because failure to appropriately code for E&M services can lead to failed audits, costly repayments, and an interruption of patient care.

Accurate documentation of wound care is essential in order to reflect what has been done as often times physicians will forget to document the size of the wound. And this lack of specificity impacts code selection for depth, location, instrument used, and whether the wound was present on admission.

This webcast will help coders and clinical documentation integrity specialists understand the two definitions of sepsis: Sepsis-1, used by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services as criteria for its hospital inpatient quality reporting (IQR), and Sepsis-3 used by providers and payers.

This webcast will show you how to document to support the optimization of the DRG and how accurate documentation will support medical necessity of inpatient status. Extensive use of clinical scenarios will help you better understand new documentation concepts in the era of value-based care.

Diabetes is now one of the most common diagnosis in ICD-10-CM. Yet, coding diabetes is confusing. This exclusive ICD10monitor webcast on coding diabetes can help you understand the associated diabetic complications and manifestations that add to the complexity of coding this chronic condition.

Numerous changes to the codes as well as to the MCC/CC lists, plus changes to the Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting make it extremely difficult to identify clinical indictors necessary to validate an MCC or CC. This webcast will help you avoid compliance issues and reimbursement losses.

This exclusive ICD10monitor webcast will clear up confusion associated with the challenges of coding ophthalmology services—services that are increasing in frequency as the population ages, thus driving revenue and reimbursement and the likelihood of audits and takebacks unless coded correctly.
