ICD-10 Summer School with Mr. Mike

Don’t waste away your lazy days of summer! Join HDG for online summer school as we take an informative and fun deep dive into the world of ICD-10-CM coding. In this three part webinar series, you will learn coding from the ground up, starting with opening the manual through completing the finished code. The history and development of ICD-10-CM will be discussed, as well as the structure of the code. Together we will study the manual layout and how to get to the ICD-10-CM promise land with your final code. The series will explore each chapter in the manual relevant to the SNF communities, broken down by disease process and body system. Guidelines and tips will also be included to help you graduate to coding success!

Part 1 – Deep Dive into ICD-10-CM: Manual Review and Guidelines for Successful Coding

Tuesday, July 16
1:00 – 2:30 pm CT

In part one of the series, we will address chapters in the manual defined by disease process and body system relevant to skilled nursing communities, including coding of infectious diseases, neoplasms, diseases of the blood and blood organs, endocrine and metabolic diseases, and neurological and mental disorders. This session offers the option for self-study of diagnosis coding. Common coding errors identified from self-study submissions will be summarized and discussed during the next webinar in the series for additional insight.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
• Comprehend definitions of ICD-10-CM.
• Describe official ICD-10-CM coding guidelines.
• Demonstrate the ability to assign correct ICD-10-CM codes.
• Use resource materials for accurate coding.
• Explore chapters of ICD-10-CM relevant to skilled nursing communities.

Part 2 – Exploring ICD-10-CM in Preparation for PDPM: Review of Coding Manual and Use of Seventh Character

Tuesday, July 23
1:00 – 2:30 pm CT

In part two of the series, we will build on core coding guidelines and tips from the previous webinar, and will continue exploring the ICD-10-CM coding manual with a focus on coding of the seventh-character extension. In this webinar, we will review chapters in the manual relevant to skilled nursing communities that address diseases of the nervous, circulatory, respiratory, and digestive systems and diseases of the skin, eyes, and ears. This session offers the option for self-study of diagnosis coding. Common coding errors identified from self-study submissions will be summarized and discussed during the next webinar in the series for additional insight.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
• Explore chapters of ICD-10-CM relevant to skilled nursing communities.
• Build upon established coding guidelines and tips.
• Successfully code the ICD-10-CM seventh-character extension.

Part 3 – ICD-10-CM Coding Best Practices in the PDPM Environment

Tuesday, July 30
1:00 – 2:30 pm CT

In the final webinar in the three-part ICD-10-CM Summer School coding series, we will continue to explore coding specifics associated with ICD-10-CM in the Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM) environment that begins on October 1, 2019. You will learn to use established coding best practices, including seventh character coding and coding to the most specified code. We will discuss how to make the ICD-10-CM manual your friend, as well as cases when the internet can be a helpful resource. In this webinar, we will review chapters in the manual relevant to skilled nursing communities that address diseases of the musculoskeletal system, genitourinary system, abnormal laboratory findings, injuries and poisonings, external causes, and health status.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
• Apply core guidelines to all coding practices.
• Successfully complete coding for the skilled nursing community.
• Demonstrate familiarity with the ICD-10-CM manual.
