2024 ACDIS Outpatient Pocket Guide: The essential CDI resource for outpatient professionals
CDI professionals need a day-to-day reference when conducting their outpatient medical record reviews—one that can provide trusted clinical indicators for compliant and effective physician clarifications, and at-a-glance, easy-to-use diagnosis and Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) references. The 2024 ACDIS Outpatient Pocket Guide is the essential resource for outpatient coding guidance, HCC updates, compliant query best practices and standards, E/M requirements, and diagnostic definitions.
Co-written by ACDIS’ interim director and CDI education director Laurie Prescott, RN, MSN, CCDS, CCDS-O, CDIP, CRC; James Manz, MD, CCDS-O, a practicing physician at the Mayo Clinic who is steeped in the latest physician documentation terminology; and Tamara Hicks, BSN, MHA, RN, CCS, CCDS, CCDS-O, director of clinical documentation excellence at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, the 2024 ACDIS Outpatient Pocket Guide is a winning combination of practical, tailored CDI tips and resources; helpful references including ICD-10-CM code mappings organized by HCC; and clinical, regulatory, and coding guidance adapted from the official sources.
The 2024 ACDIS Outpatient Pocket Guide offers the latest information outpatient CDI professionals need to know, including:
- Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 guidelines
- AHA 2023 Coding Clinic guidance
- Version 28 CMS-HCCs
- Expanded neoplasms section that now addresses solid tumors, leukemia, and lymphomas
- New provider tips from James Manz, MD, CCDS-O of Mayo Clinic
- Icons designed to assist you in easily identifying conditions with specific considerations:
- A toad icon indicates that that a TOAD status code may need to be reported with this HCC. TOAD is a quick mnemonic that can be used to remind providers to capture Z codes related to conditions such as Transplants, Ostomies, Amputations/AIDS and Dialysis Status.
- A caution icon indicates that this HCC infrequently occurs in the outpatient setting; therefore, if it is listed as a diagnosis, it may have been inadvertently carried over from a recent/past hospitalization and used on a postadmission visit.
The 2024 ACDIS Outpatient Pocket Guide also covers the transition from CMS-HCC Version 24 to Version 28. In Version 28, certain conditions now require additional specificity, including heart failure and neoplasms, and the ACDIS Outpatient Pocket Guide has expanded these sections to provide CDI specialists with this key information.
Additionally, this latest edition has been updated to incorporate Version 28 CMS- HCCs and reorganized to include conditions that do not impact CMS-HCCs but are commonly seen in the outpatient setting and impact other risk adjustment methodologies. Each condition section begins with an easy-to-reference table describing the impact of the condition within different risk adjustment methodologies including the Elixhauser Comorbidity Index, HHS-HCCs, and Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) measures.
