UHIMA | Coding Roundtable: Long Term Acute Care Coding

Overview:

LTAC Coding By Barry Libman, MS, RHIA, CDIP, CCS

Long Term Acute Care hospitals serve patients requiring complex medical management.  As a result, coding of the diagnoses and procedures commonly seen in the LTAC / LTACH setting is also complex.  Join us for this introduction to LTAC coding and an overview of how LTAC coding differs from inpatient acute care coding.

Please Note: Long term care, such as skilled nursing and hospice, is not part of this presentation.
