| Assessing renal abnormalities' cause and severity should be the initial approach to kidney disease for all clinical documentation integrity (CDI) professionals. Over the past year, roughly 30% of COVID-19 patients also had acute kidney injury (AKI), exacerbating the challenges CDI and coding professionals face in accurately capturing these conditions.
During this 90-minute webinar, speaker Alba Kuqi, MD, CICA, CCS, CDIP, CCDS, CRCR, CSMC, will explain how to examine the medical record for clinical clues related to chronic and acute kidney disease, identify kidney-related COVID-19 complications, and decipher diagnostics to craft compliant queries. Kuqi will provide CDI and coders with the details they need to delve into provider documentation and code in ICD-10-CM compliantly with Medicare rules and regulations. |
