Basic Icd 10 Cm And Icd 10 Pcs Coding 2020

ICD-10-CM 2020: The Complete Official Codebook provides the entire updated code set for diagnostic coding, organized to make the challenge of accurate coding easier. This codebook is the cornerstone for establishing medical necessity, determining coverage and ensuring appropriate reimbursement. Each of the 21 chapters in the Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is organized to provide quick and simple navigation to facilitate accurate coding. The book also contains supplementary appendixes including a coding tutorial, pharmacology listings, a list of valid three-character codes and additional information on Z-codes for long-term drug use and Z-codes that can only be used as a principal diagnosis. Official coding guidelines for 2020 are bound into this codebook. FEATURES AND BENEFITS - Full list of code changes. Quickly see the complete list of new, revised, and deleted codes affecting the FY 2020 codes. - QPP symbol in the tabular section. The symbol identifies diagnosis codes associated with Quality Payment Program (QPP) measures under MARCA. - The addition of more than 100 coding tips. Obtain insight into coding for physician and outpatient settings. - The addition of more than 300 new definitions in the tabular listing. Assign codes with confidence based on illustrations and definitions designed to highlight key components of the disease process or injury. - Intuitive features and format. This edition includes full-color illustrations and visual alerts, including color-coding and symbols that identify coding notes and instructions, additional character requirements, codes associated with CMS hierarchical condition categories (HCC), Medicare Code Edits (MCEs), manifestation codes, other specified codes, and unspecified codes. - Placeholder X. This icon alerts the coder to an important ICD-10-CM convention--the use of a "placeholder X" for three-, four- and five-character codes requiring a seventh character extension. - Coding guideline explanations and examples. Detailed explanations and examples related to application of the ICD-10-CM chapter guidelines are provided at the beginning of each chapter in the tabular section. - Muscle/tendon translation table. This table is used to determine muscle/tendon action (flexor, extensor, other), which is a component of codes for acquired conditions and injuries affecting the muscles and tendons - Appendices. Supplement your coding knowledge with information on proper coding practices, risk adjustment coding, pharmacology, and Z codes.

Learn facility-based coding by actually working with codes. ICD-10-CM/PCS Coding: Theory and Practice provides an in-depth understanding of in-patient diagnosis and procedure coding to those who are just learning to code, as well as to experienced professionals who need to solidify and expand their knowledge. Featuring basic coding principles, clear examples, and challenging exercises, this text helps explain why coding is necessary for reimbursement, the basics of the health record, and rules, guidelines, and functions of ICD-10-CM/PCS coding. UPDATED ICD-10 codes and coding guidelines revisions ensure students have the most up-to-date information available. 30-day access to TruCode® encoder on the Evolve companion website provides students realistic practice with using an encoder. UPDATED codes for Pancreatitis, Diabetic Retinopathy, Fractures, GIST Tumors, Hypertension and Myocardial Infarctions. ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting provide fast, easy access instruction on proper application of codes. Coverage of both common and complex procedures prepares students for inpatient procedural coding using ICD-10-PCS. Numerous and varied examples and exercises within each chapter break chapters into manageable segments and help students gauge learning while reinforcing important concepts Illustrations and examples of key diseases help in understanding how commonly encountered conditions relate to ICD-10-CM coding. Strong coverage of medical records provides a context for coding and familiarizes students with documents they will encounter on the job. Illustrated, full-color design emphasizes important content such as anatomy and physiology and visually reinforces key concepts.

These guidelines have been approved by the four organizations that make up the Cooperating Parties for the ICD-10-CM: the American Hospital Association (AHA), the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), CMS, and NCHS. These guidelines are a set of rules that have been developed to accompany and complement the official conventions and instructions provided within the ICD-10-CM itself. The instructions and conventions of the classification take precedence over guidelines. These guidelines are based on the coding and sequencing instructions in the Tabular List and Alphabetic Index of ICD-10-CM, but provide additional instruction. Adherence to these guidelines when assigning ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes is required under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The diagnosis codes (Tabular List and Alphabetic Index) have been adopted under HIPAA for all healthcare settings. A joint effort between the healthcare provider and the coder is essential to achieve complete and accurate documentation, code assignment, and reporting of diagnoses and procedures. These guidelines have been developed to assist both the healthcare provider and the coder in identifying those diagnoses that are to be reported. The importance of consistent, complete documentation in the medical record cannot be overemphasized. Without such documentation accurate coding cannot be achieved. The entire record should be reviewed to determine the specific reason for the encounter and the conditions treated.

Organized to reflect the ICD-10-CM/PCS chapters, Basic ICD 10- CM/PCS Coding, 2013 Edition, provides students and in-training professionals with a balanced approach to coding. In-depth instruction and practical exercises build a foundation from which to apply ICD-10-CM/PCS conventions and rules to everyday examples and exercises using actual case documentation. New content is intended to give students a basic level of understanding of ICD-10 -CM/PCS that will allow them to begin the education process of transitioning to coding with ICD-10-CM/PCS. An instructor's guide with additional exercises, an answer key, background information, pointers for students, and PowerPoint slides for the classroom is available. The instructor's answer key provides detailed explanations of how codes are assigned in ICD-10 -CM and constructed in ICD-10-PCS. A companion workbook, Basic ICD-10-CM Exercises, fourth edition, is available for purchase.
