FY 2017 ICD-10-CM CC/MCC List with Revisions: Clinical Indicators and Query Opportunities

Join us Thursday, January 26, 2017
1:00-2:30 p.m. Eastern

Struggling to identify clinical indicators needed to qualify a diagnosis as complication comorbid (CC) condition or a major CC (MCC) condition? New coders and CDI specialists often do, but so do those who’ve been in the field a while. Add to this the numerous changes associated with Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, AHA’s Coding Clinic for ICD-10-CM/PCS, and the changes to the codes and CC/MCC lists themselves, and CDI staff may feel overwhelmed with one of the basic tenets of their role as documentation improvement professionals. 

Even those who’ve had multiple years of experience querying get tangled up in new initiatives, letting their essential skills lapse. This program will provide a detailed look at targeted CC/MCC areas and highlight opportunities for improvement.

At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:

• Understand sequencing guidelines and coding principals 
• List criteria that qualifies a diagnosis to be considered as an 'other' diagnosis
• Discuss the role of compliant documentation in MS-DRG CC/MCC capture 
• Analyze clinical indicators of selected diagnoses to improve query
