Abstract:

For decades, coders have sought a concise, reliable and easy-to-follow tool for those problematic diagnoses and inpatient procedures that are most often questioned by payers. Now there is a unique new resource that provides the clinical criteria necessary for code assignment. This new tool also describes the clinical documentation needed for determining if the condition is a complication, or when a medical condition should be coded as an additional diagnosis. Now coders, utilization review staff and HIM managers can systematically evaluate the clinical criteria that influence code assignments and patient care.
