ICD-10-CM Documentation 2021 brings coders and physicians together to ensure documentation success, identifying all ICD-10-CM documentation requirements using detailed checklists.
The American Medical Association (AMA) is the physicians' powerful ally
in patient care. As the only medical association that convenes 190+
state and specialty medical societies and other critical stakeholders,
the AMA represents physicians with a unified voice to all key players in
health care. The AMA leverages its strength by removing the obstacles
that interfere with patient care, leading the charge to prevent chronic
disease and confront public health crises and driving the future of
medicine to tackle the biggest challenges in health care.
ICD-10-CM requires very specific documentation to correctly choose diagnostic codes, a skill that both coders and physicians must master to code successfully. Moving beyond the transition to ICD-10, the new edition focuses on the key role proper documentation plays in supporting medical necessity.
ICD-10-CM Documentation 2021 brings coders and physicians together to ensure documentation success, identifying all ICD-10-CM documentation requirements using detailed checklists.
Designed for use alongside an ICD-10-CM codebook, this comprehensive training guide provides all the tools necessary to conduct an effective documentation analysis and to create a corrective action plan, making it ideal for both non-facility and facility coders.
The chapter organization mirrors the structure of codebooks and all guidance is geared toward the process of code decision-making. In addition, exercises and quizzes test knowledge and understanding of key points throughout the book.
