Diabetes
Manifestations: Overcome Common
Errors for Improved Accuracy & Revenue
Audio Conference • Thursday, February 22, 2007 • 1:30
- 2:30 p.m. EST
Watch out for this error: Applying the assumed
connection between diabetes and gangrene to gangrenous ulcers
in diabetics.
There’s a big difference, but even seasoned coders stumbled
over this in the Homecare Coding Specialist – Diagnosis
(HCS-D) exam.
And don’t assume – as many HSC-D candidates did – that
diabetes can’t be used as a secondary diagnosis. Likewise,
don’t take it for granted that you can automatically
assign the DM case mix code to M0245.
Clear up the confusion and misconceptions surrounding diabetes
manifestations and learn how to get it right with practical,
9-point guidance tailored specifically to homecare coders.
Sign up today for this live, interactive teleconference and
get:
- “Safety” rules for coding diabetes
and manifestations;
- Tips for coding diabetes (DM)
with peripheral vascular disease (PVD);
- Exceptions to these rules and
their nuances;
- Instructions on how to handle
common manifestations, such as renal, vision, hypertension
and circulatory problems;
- An explanation of the difference
between true manifestations and unrelated co-morbidities;
- Clarification on the rules for
using trauma codes with ulcers and other wounds associated
with DM;
- Tips on when to code DM as secondary;
- Strategies to help you tackle
DM and transplants;
- Guidelines on when to assign
the DM case mix code to M0245.
Hands-on training: Don’t miss your chance
to code scenarios that clarify these sore spots.
And take advantage
of the opportunity to pose your questions directly to presenter
Pallavi Sheth, HCS-D, 15-year coding veteran and compliance
manger at Englewood (N.J.) Hospital Home Health and Hospice
Services.
Another perk: Pay one fee and your entire staff can
listen in on this inservice.
