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.

Join us for this KHIMA on-demand webinar analyzing degenerative hip disease from both a physician perspective and from a Coder/CDI perspective.

This presentation will deliver information from an auditor’s perspective in order to enhance the audience’s understanding of compliant coding. Tips on avoiding documentation traps will also be covered and the audience will be given a sneak preview into 2021 E/M changes.

Join us for the next KHIMA educational webinar - Enhancing Your Influence, presented by Amy Siple.

Presented by Dr. Lisa Campbell, PhD, MPM, MHA, RHIA, CDIP

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.

This presentation is geared toward identifying the leader in us all. We’ll take a look at different styles of leadership as well as how they can be utilized in our every-day life.

Sessions include: 

1. Role of the Clinical Documentation Specialist in the Management of Clinical Validation Denials;
2. Appealing Denials for Coding of BMI, Obesity, and Morbid Obesity;
3. Successfully Appealing Clinical Validation and Coding in Malnutrition and Congestive Heart Failure; and
4. Successfully Appealing Clinical Validation and Coding Issues in Acute Blood Loss Anemia

This webinar will describe the CDS role in managing clinical validation denials. Identifying and implementing generally accepted clinical guidelines in documentation and in appeals will be presented. Clinical scenario case studies will be presented to provide real life examples of successful clinical validation appeal arguments.

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.

Malnutrition remains a target for both clinical and coding validation. This webinar will present current coding guidelines and clinical indicators for malnutrition.  The difference between coding and clinical denials for malnutrition will be explained as well as the different appeal strategies. This webinar also covers coding and clinical validation considerations and appeal strategies for congestive heart failure denials.

Acute blood loss anemia remains a target for both clinical and coding validation. This webinar will present current coding guidelines and clinical indicators for acute blood loss anemia. The difference between coding and clinical denials for malnutrition will be explained as well as the different appeal strategies.
