Heart Failure
Home health agencies often encounter patients suffering from some type of heart failure. Specificity is key when coding these conditions. Distinct ICD-10-CM codes identify acute vs. chronic (or acute on chronic), systolic vs. diastolic (or combined), right vs. left ventricle (or both).
Learn the most efficient route to these codes on the Coding Center, what combination codes are available, when multiple codes are needed, and where to find the official and expert content so you can assign everything correctly. – Recorded Jan. 26, 2022
Navigating the Tables
The Table of Drugs & Chemicals is the route to the poisoning, toxic effect, adverse effect and underdosing codes. And you’ll often need to turn to the Neoplasm Table when directed there by the Alpha Index. Learn the most efficient way to use these tables on the Home Health Coding Center to pinpoint the appropriate code(s) and then sequence them correctly. - Recorded Nov. 22, 2021
