Coders struggle with the CC and MCC lists due to their length, complexity, and specific documentation requirements. To create a clinically succinct and appropriate physician query, you must understand how the clinical indicators in the health record translate to MS-DRGs and how CCs and MCCs affect that element of coding.
Join HCPro and William E. Haik, MD, at 1 p.m. (Eastern) Wednesday, November 13, for the live 90-minute audio conference, CC/MCC List: Clinical Indicators and Query Opportunities. Dr. Haik will explain the guidelines for reporting additional diagnoses; explore the significance of the 2014 CC/MCC lists, including definitions for malnutrition and acute kidney injury (AKI); and help you incorporate significant documentation elements to reflect the patient’s condition.
