CCs/MCCs: 2022 CDI Updates for Clinical Indicators and Query Opportunities - On-Demand

Available ON-DEMAND

Presented on: Wednesday, February 2, 2022 

Presented by: William E. Haik, MD, FCCP, CDIP

ICD-10-CM/PCS codes change every year. So do the rules governing code assignment and what constitutes a complication or comorbid condition (CC) or a major CC (MCC). Capturing targeted documentation helps improve clinical and coding accuracy.

No matter your experience level, your CDI, coding, and compliance teams needs an ongoing awareness of these elemental rules. That means annually taking a closer look at the clinical indicators needed to qualify a diagnosis as a CC/MCC.

Join CDI thought leader and founding ACDIS Advisory Board member William E. Haik, MD, FCCP, CDIP, Director of DRG Review Inc., for this 60-minute informative webinar where attendees will receive updates on common query opportunities, delve into emerging clinical scenarios, and lean about code assignment governance to protect the integrity of the medical record. 

This year, CC changes include:

• G92.03 Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome, grade 3
• G92.04 Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome, grade 4
• G92.05 Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome, grade 5
