We’re living in a hybrid world. And now the hybrid concept has become part of the coding and clinical documentation integrity (CDI) world.
The process of physician querying is already a stressful activity for many CDI and coding professionals. It has recently become even more stressful, because many hospitals are receiving a new type of denial: a hybrid between coding and clinical validation. It arises when a payer denies a diagnosis added by query, because their auditor determined that the query was non-compliant.
During the next live edition of Talk Ten Tuesdays, senior healthcare consultant Cheryl Ericson will return to the broadcast to help coders and CDI specialists (CDISs) better code and report amid this new added twist of a threat.
Also part of the broadcast will be these instantly recognizable panelists, who will report more news during their segments:
• Field Report: Substituting for Tiffany Ferguson will be Laurie Johnson, who is expected to report on trauma coding occasioned by Wednesday’s fatal shooting of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson.
• The Coding Report: Christine Geiger, Assistant Vice President of Acute and Post-Acute Coding Services for First Class Solutions, will report on the latest coding news.
• RegWatch: Former Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) career professional Stanley Nachimson will report on the latest regulatory news coming out of Washington, D.C.
• News Desk: Timothy Powell, ICD10monitor national correspondent and regulatory expert, will anchor the Talk Ten Tuesdays News Desk.
• TalkBack: Erica Remer, MD, founder and president of Erica Remer, MD, Inc., and Talk Ten Tuesdays co-host, will report on a subject that has caught her attention.
