Attend this session to learn about genitourinary procedures and how the 2023 additions to the PCS code set make coding easier for some GU procedures.

Coders are often stumped on whether a historical medical condition is still present vs. totally cured. Whether a current ICD-10-CM code is assigned vs. a historical code affects reimbursement as well as patient liability, so coders strive to get it right.

At all levels of health care leadership and practice, people who are trained in key Lean principles are better prepared to help transform their practices during a time of crisis when agility and optimization are mission critical.

Attendees will learn more about the changes to office visits.

This webinar also covers coding and clinical validation considerations and appeal strategies for congestive heart failure denials.

This webinar will review what the provider, nurses, and dietary staff need to know to correctly document obesity on the front end to help prevent denials on the back end. Clinical scenario case studies will be presented to provide real life examples of successful obesity appeal arguments.
