Coding Clinic for CDI:ICD-10 covers orthopedic, cardiovascular coding

by Shannon E. McCall, RHIA, CCS, CCS-P, CPC, CPC-I, CEMC, CCDS
Some interesting tidbits of information can be gleaned from the most recent release of AHA Coding Clinic for ICD- 10-CM/PCS to help coders as they work in the new code set. I never thought I’d be so eager to read a release about coding instead of the newest James Patterson novel, but this newsletter highlights topics such as orthopedic screw removals, revision of total knee replacements, heart failure with pleural effusions, leadless pacemakers, the Glasgow Coma Scale, and decompression of the spinal cord.
