Code assignment justifications are thoroughly outlined. Helps craft physician queries. Learn how to address fine distinctions in a patient's medical condition and ensure appropriate reimbursement. Provides a detailed clinical description of problematic diagnoses or procedures--from a coder's perspective--plus the clinical criteria that support code assignment. Assists coders in determining what clinical elements are necessary for initial diagnosis code assignment, when it should be coded as a complication, and when the condition should be coded as an additional diagnosis.
