2024 IPPS Summit Begins Today

Healthcare professionals seeking to get ahead of the curve before the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) Final Rule for the 2024 fiscal year (FY) takes effect this Oct. 1 will find everything they need packaged in a dynamic upcoming three-day webcast being presented by ICD10monitor, starting today, Aug. 15 at 1:30 EST.

The 2024 IPPS Summit: Final Rule Update with Expert Insights and Analysis will continue through Thursday, Aug. 17. Followers of ICD10monitor, RACmonitor, and MedLearn Media – the two news websites’ parent company – are eligible to sign up for one, two, or all three daily sessions to learn about new coding and regulatory changes now on the horizon.

Along with coverage of new ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS codes will be a focus on changes to MS-DRG methodology and New Technology Add-on Payments (NTAPs), also expected in the new Final Rule.

Featured during the webcast will be Laurie M. Johnson, MS, RHIA, FAHIMA, a senior healthcare consultant for Revenue Cycle Solutions, based in Pittsburgh; and Erica Remer, MD, former emergency physician-turned consultant. Remer is the cohost of the long-running Talk Ten Tuesdays weekly Internet radio broadcast. Remer is also a member of the ICD10monitor Editorial Board; she will provide critical context and expert analysis to Johnson’s coding reports.

The three-day webcast will provide valuable insight for chief financial officers, coders, clinical documentation integrity (CDI) specialists, compliance officers, physician advisors, and case managers alike.

Specifically, attendees of the webcast can expect to:

  • Learn the new ICD-10-CM/PCS codes and guidelines for FY 2024;
  • Be able to interpret changes to complication or comorbidity (CC) and major CC (MCC) codes, as well as to the PCS table;
  • Understand changes to the ICD-10-CM and PCS classification systems;
  • Get up to speed on the FY 242 MS-DRG methodology;
  • Understand changes to new technology add-on payments (NTAPs);
  • Learn how to develop action plans for FY 24 preparation; and
  • Get valuable insights and analysis from top subject-matter experts such as Johnson and Dr. Remer.

The live webcast will also be interactive, giving those listening an opportunity to receive expert answers to their most pressing questions.
