JustCoding’s Inpatient Virtual Symposium

On-demand

Day 1 Day 2

Day 1

January 1, 1970
12:00 - 1:00 pm EST	Perfect Reporting by Identifying Surgical Complications Adriane Martin, DO, FACOS, CCDS, Vice President of Physician Services - Enjoin This session will help coders identify what is considered a surgical complication within the medical record and review general considerations for intraoperative and postoperative complications. Inpatient coders will learn to define a cause-and-effect relationship, identify situations in which diagnoses/conditions are potentially inherent and/or unavoidable, and describe common diagnoses that are potentially surgical complications.
1:05 - 1:55 pm ET	Properly Report ICD-10-PCS Spinal Fusion Procedures Jillian Harrington, Ed.D., MHA, CCS, CCS-P, CPC, CPC-P, CPC-I, CEMC, MHP, Regulatory Specialist and Instructor - HCPro Inpatient coders are frequently challenged by reporting spinal procedures accurately in ICD-10-PCS. The complexity of the procedures, frequent gaps in provider documentation, and required anatomical knowledge and terminology can make reporting the most specific procedures very difficult. This session will review spinal anatomy as well as spinal fusions. Pertinent coding background and documentation guidelines for ICD-10-PCS will also be covered, as well as best practices for reporting these procedures.
1:55 - 2:10 pm ET	Break
2:10 - 2:55 pm ET	Understand and Leverage ICD-10-CM/PCS Inpatient Coding Denials for Future Prevention Malissa Powers, BS, RHIT, CCS, CDIP, CICA - Revecore Government and private payers frequently update guidance and regulations seemingly to come up with new reasons to deny ICD-10-CM/PCS claims, which in turn affects MS-DRG assignment. This session will cover these coding denials while shining a light on their clinical validation components. Through coding practice examples, the session will heighten inpatient coders’ awareness of these denials and help facilities develop a comprehensive appeal strategy.
3:00 - 3:50 pm ET	Break Down the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting for the Inpatient Setting Jillian Harrington, Ed.D., MHA, CCS, CCS-P, CPC, CPC-P, CPC-I, CEMC, MHP, Regulatory Specialist and Instructor - HCPro Each year the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting are updated with pertinent information for inpatient coders. This session will give attendees a solid understanding of the guidelines, which is imperative for accurate code assignment and reimbursement.
4: 00 - 4:30 pm ET	Live Q&A Jillian Harrington, Ed.D., MHA, CCS, CCS-P, CPC, CPC-P, CPC-I, CEMC, MHP, Regulatory Specialist and Instructor - HCPro Malissa Powers, BS, RHIT, CCS, CDIP, CICA - Revecore Adriane Martin, DO, FACOS, CCDS, Vice President of Physician Services - Enjoin Join Adriane Martin, Jillian Harrington, and Malissa Jackson for a live Q&A and submit all your questions from the day’s sessions.

Day 2

January 1, 1970
12:00 - 12:45 pm ET	CDI/Coding Collaboration: Improve Communication Shannon McCall, RHIA, CCS, CCS-P, CPC, CEMC, CRC, CCDS, CCDS-O, Director of HIM and Coding, HCPro, a Simplify Compliance Brand CDI and coder collaboration is essential for medical practices and hospitals alike. This keynote, presented by expert Shannon McCall, will cover common pitfalls in CDI and coder communication as well as ways to help bridge any gaps.
12:50 - 1:45 pm ET	Shore Up Reporting for Common, Complex Inpatient Diagnoses Shannon McCall, RHIA, CCS, CCS-P, CPC, CEMC, CRC, CCDS, CCDS-O, Director of HIM and Coding, HCPro, a Simplify Compliance Brand Coders must possess detailed knowledge of coding guidance and documentation needs to properly report complex but commonplace inpatient diagnoses. However, their job is made more difficult by documentation challenges and differences in reimbursement methodologies. This session will review common and tricky inpatient diagnoses, including heart failure, myocardial infarction, and diabetes.
1:45 - 2:00 pm ET	Break
2:00 - 2:50 pm ET	Attack Cardiac Reporting, Part One: ICD-10-CM Ed O’Beirne, CCS, PA, CDIP, Coding Educator - Stanford Healthcare When reporting cardiac conditions in ICD-10-CM, coders must be aware of reporting requirements, as well as the anatomical and clinical details of these conditions, to report the most appropriate codes. During part one of this two-part session, Ed O’Beirne will explain cardiac anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology, and review ICD-10-CM coding challenges and requirements associated with the cardiac system.
2:55 - 3:50 pm ET	Attack Cardiac Reporting, Part Two: ICD-10-PCS Ed O’Beirne, CCS, PA, CDIP, Coding Educator - Stanford Healthcare In ICD-10-PCS, coders must be acutely aware of reporting requirements for procedures such as a coronary artery bypass graft or valve replacement in order to report the most appropriate codes. During part two of this two-part session, through case studies and coding examples, Ed O’Beirne will provide coders with the details to decipher provider documentation and code in ICD-10-PCS compliantly with Medicare rules and regulations.
4:00 - 4:30 pm ET	Live Q&A Shannon McCall, RHIA, CCS, CCS-P, CPC, CEMC, CRC, CCDS, CCDS-O, Director of HIM and Coding, HCPro, a Simplify Compliance Brand Ed O’Beirne, CCS, PA, CDIP, Coding Educator - Stanford Healthcare Join Shannon E. McCall and Ed O’Beirne for a live Q&A and submit all your questions from the day’s sessions.
