The guidelines for principal diagnosis selection involving heart failure have changed over the past four years, as has the frequency of congestive heart failure as a secondary diagnosis. Heart failure is also a key component of quality measures, which makes it even more important for coders and CDI specialists to know the rules behind reporting hear failure.
Join HCPro at 1 p.m. (Eastern) Friday, March 13, for the live, 90-minute webinar, Heart Failure: Identify Key Coding, Documentation, and Quality Challenges. Expert speakers, Robert S. Gold, MD, and Gloryanne Bryant, BS, RHIA, RHIT, CCS, CDIP, CCDS, will use case studies and sample queries to explain how to properly identify heart failure. They will discuss the similarities and differences between ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM for heart failure and review how heart failure coding and documentation affects quality measures.
