Note from the CCDS Coordinator | Over the Y92.838 and through the Y92.821 to Grandmother’s Y92.01 we go | By Penny Richards Ah. Thanksgiving. While the ACDIS team will be out of the office for the Thanksgiving holiday and Black Friday, we know that the opportunities for mishaps requiring medical attention are far too plentiful to mention. We wouldn’t want to leave you without ACDIS’ guidance in this trying time, so I've compiled a short list of codes that might prove helpful to the on-duty clinical documentation specialist. |

And, does this map to HCC 103? |
