New ICD-10-CM Code Education – Chapter 10 – 25 points

As a leader and manager, the health information administrator is responsible for communicating reimbursement policy and procedures. This responsibility requires the manager to interpret coding documents and relate requirements to hospital-specific operations.

Locate the most recent ICD-10-CM Addenda and Official Coding Guidelines on the NCHS website.

• Examine and interpret the guidance provided in the documents.
• Pick three topics to include in a coding education presentation. The topics that you select should represent a major change in coding or coding guidelines. Do not pick topics such as one-word modification in description.
• Create  3 slide (plus a cover and resource slide) powerpoint educational presentation that would be provided to coding professionals. The presentation should present the topics and provide coding education and next steps for coding professionals/hospital staff to implement the change(s).
  • Hint: Notes from the Coordination and Maintenance Committee minutes may be helpful in describing why codes were added/modified. The meetings are recorded and are on YouTube when the meeting is held in person (Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9FkXakmEG). When the meeting is a virtual meeting, such as in 2020 due to COVID-19, a recording of the meeting can be located in the ICD-10 C and M Meeting Materials webpage (https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/ICD10/C-and-M-Meeting-Materials).
