With expert guided insight, you will be prepared to tackle all the rules and changes that may impact your facility.

During this ICD10monitor webcast, coding authority Laurie Johnson will provide essential education on the changes contained in the FY2024 IPPS proposed rule. She’ll help facilities identify NTAPs and explain proposed changes included in the MS-DRG methodology so that the needed coding education, adjustments in the chargemaster, and updates to coding guidelines can occur on a timely basis.

Attendees will be able to gain an understanding of the 2024 IPPS changes before the August final rule to help overcome challenges and mitigate areas of potential risk. Preparation may include understanding how the MS-DRG changes will impact your organization or researching which NTAP applications will impact your facility. Coders must understand the changes in the MS-DRG methodology as well as changes to the surgical hierarchy and Medicare Code Edits. The NTAP research will assist in chargemaster preparations for October 1, 2023, and help prevent facilities from losing valuable reimbursement dollars.

Register now and get prepared for the coming changes.

Why This Is Relevant:
