Coding for Spinal Procedures: A 2-Part Webcast Series

To protect revenues and ensure compliance you need more than a clear picture of what’s coming in the FY24 IPPS Final Rule. You also need trusted insights and analysis that empowers you with an understanding of all expected changes, including new ICD-10-CM/PCS codes, when Oct. 1 arrives. Correct coding will be especially important for fiscal year 2024 as your organization strives to capture every legitimate dollar of revenue in the aftermath of pandemic impacts.

Only ICD10monitor delivers what you need: the 2024 IPPS Summit: Final Rule Update with Expert Insights and Analysis, a 3-part webcast series. During our annual updates, ICD-10 coding expert Laurie Johnson will walk you through all the must-know changes associated with the FY24 IPPS, including new and deleted ICD-10-CM/PCS codes, MS-DRG modifications, new technology add-on payments (NTAPs), SDoH documentation needs, and changes to CC/MCC designations.

Coders aren’t doctors, yet they’re expected to understand anatomy, why procedures are performed and, of course, documentation of the procedure. Any knowledge gap can undermine your revenue and compliance objectives. This is especially true for spinal procedures, which require a high degree of coding specificity and accuracy but are inherently difficult for non-clinicians to fully comprehend.

During this two-part ICD10monitor webcast series, brought to you by popular request, our expert presenter, Kim Felix, RHIA, CCS, will walk you through ICD-10-PCS and CPT^® coding for several commonly performed spinal procedures. Besides essential knowledge about spinal anatomy and procedures, you will gain confidence, leading to a boost in coding productivity, while supporting your drive to capture the optimal, fully compliant reimbursement.
