Synopsis:
ICD-10-CM requires very specific documentation to correctly choose diagnostic codes, a skill that both coders and physicians must master to code successfully. Moving beyond the transition to ICD- 10, the new edition focuses on the key role proper documentation plays in supporting medical necessity. ICD-10-CM Documentation 2019 brings coders and physicians together to ensure documentation success, identifying all ICD-10-CM documentation requirements using detailed checklists. Designed for use alongside an ICD-10-CM codebook, this comprehensive training guide provides all the tools necessary to conduct an effective documentation analysis and to create a corrective action plan, making it ideal for both non-facility and facility coders. The chapter organization mirrors the structure of codebooks and all guidance is geared toward the process of code decision-making. In addition, exercises and quizzes test knowledge and understanding of key points throughout the book.
