Thursday, April 3, 2014 • 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. ET

Trish Twombly, RN, BSN, HCS-D, HCS-O, COS-C, CHCE, AHIMA Approved ICD-10-CM Trainer, DecisionHealth's Senior Director and CEO of the Board of Medical Specialty Coding & Compliance (BMSC)

In the next three sessions, you’ll walk you through key areas of the ICD-10 coding system to develop a firm foundation of knowledge so you’ll be ready to accurately code claims after the implementation date and train for major differences that could throw you for a loop. For example, you can say goodbye to Appendix D; all the necessary guidance you’ll need to accurately code can be found in the ICD-10-CM coding guidelines.

In this session, ICD-10 coding expert Trish Twombly will take you through the ICD-10 coding conventions and guidelines, including the use of laterality, Excludes notes, unspecified codes, sequelae, 7th digit placeholders and 7th digit boxes, as well as the differences in sequencing guidelines of certain diseases, such as anemia in neoplastic disease and its therapies.
