Did you know that according to the 2018 ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, if a patient presents with a pressure ulcer at one stage and during the admission it progresses to a higher stage, two separate codes would be reported? One code should be reported for the site and stage of the ulcer on admission and a second code for the same ulcer site and the highest stage reported during the stay.

These new coding requirements differ greatly from 2016 guidance which required only the highest stage of the pressure ulcer be reported for pressure ulcers that evolve into a higher stage during the admission.

Join expert speakers Sarah Humbert, RHIA, and Temeka Davis, RHIT, for this 90-minute webinar as they review the stages of pressure ulcers and injuries and clarify the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel’s definitions so coders can categorize an ulcer even if staging isn’t documented.
