Providers seeking to get ahead of the curve before the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) Final Rule for the 2022 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.
The 2022 IPPS Summit: Final Rule Update with Expert Insights and Analysis will take place from Tuesday, Aug. 17 through Thursday, Aug. 19, with followers of ICD10monitor, RACmonitor, and MedLearn Media – the two news websites’ parent company – 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, as well as changes to MS-DRG methodology and New Technology Add-on Payments (NTAPs), also expected in the new Final Rule are changes stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Serving as lead presenter for the webcast will be Laurie M.

“For the first time ever, we are also bringing in two of the country’s most respected subject matter experts to provide insights and analysis during this event – which is why we are calling it a ‘Summit,’” MedLearn Media Executive Director Angela Kornegor said. “Joining us for the Summit via live video will be Chuck Buck, publisher of ICD10monitor and executive producer and program host of Talk-Ten-Tuesdays, along with Dr. Erica Remer, who will provide critical context and expert analysis to Laurie Johnson’s coding education to make sure attendees understand what the changes mean and what they need to do before Oct. 1, 2021.”
The 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:

Stellar coding will be especially important for 2022, as organizations nationwide will be striving to capture every legitimate dollar of revenue in the aftermath of severe pandemic impact. So the bottom line is this: if you want to protect and enhance precious revenue in the coming year, you must achieve the highest level of coding accuracy, which is the ultimate focus of the 2022 IPPS Summit.
