Before the first update to ICD-10 in 2016, the code set had been frozen for five years. Now that regular updates have resumed, a virtual flood of changes has been unleashed, and with it serious implications for home health coders. The FY2018 proposed code update contains 324 new, 44 revised and 38 deleted codes, all set to take effect on October 1, leaving coders little time to prepare. Coders need to be informed of the new, deleted, and revised codes so they can appropriately capture patients’ conditions, stay in compliance, and get all the rightful reimbursement to which their agency is entitled.
 

Join expert speaker Trish Twombly, BSN, RN, HCS-D, HCS-O, HCS-H, HCS-C, AHIMA-approved ICD-10-CM trainer and ICE certified credentialing specialist, for this 90-minute webinar as she explains the key updates to the FY2018 code set, including new, deleted, and revised codes. Talk through and begin preparing for the code updates by learning how the changes will impact the codes you use most often.
