Coding the Endocrine System for 2019

Coding the Endocrine System for 2019

Presented by: Karen Scott, MEd, RHIA, CCS-P, CPC, FAHIMA

The Endocrine system can be called the regulator due to the many glands that belong to the system and its principal responsibility for providing stable balance between interdependent elements of the human body through various hormones.

This makes endocrine coding applicable across many specialties.

The ICD-10-CM and CPT-4 training session will include:

• Chapter specific terminology with anatomy
• Proper coding of conditions, disorders, and their complications
• Review coding sequencing, rules, regulations and conventions
• Stress the importance of specificity in documentation and coding choice with identification of co-morbidities that trigger HCCs (Hierarchical Condition Categories).

Please bring your ICD-10-CM and CPT-4 manual to class for coding exercises.

Please send your specific coding problems and questions to Janet Beasy at least a week ahead to be addressed by Karen during class. Please de-identify/remove any patient protected health information if you send clinic notes.
