Connection, Second Edition
provides critical information that physicians, residents, medical
students, and coders need for documentation to result in
accurate and compliant coding. Revised to reflect changes
in current payment systems, new national coding guidelines,
and evolving medical terminology, this new edition includes these
important updates: With documentation rules
and checklists for dozens of diagnosis and procedure categories,
this book makes an ideal training tool and assists compliance
officers in demonstrating that their institutions are following OIG
guidelines. Its small size, inviting format, easy-to-read content
and low price make it an invaluable resource for clinicians and
coding/billing staff in all settings. This book will help
you:
Patricia Aalseth, RHIA, CCS, CPHQ, has more than
twenty-five years’ experience in health information management,
focusing primarily on coding and documentation issues. She is
currently Manager of Professional Billing for University Physician
Associates at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine in
Albuquerque.
Please remember that the
government no longer allows a grace period for annual code sets.
The new HIPAA
Transaction and Code Set Rule requires providers to use national
medical code sets that are valid at the time that a service is
provided. ICD-9-CM code revisions become effective October 1st each
year while CPT and HCPCS code revisions become effective January
1st. In order for you to meet this requirement, you must have the
revised CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-9-CM codes in your possession before the
implementation dates. The best way to do this is to order your code
books early.
Review current coding resources. You may also be interested in subscribing to this important
