After ICD-10 Implementation: A Look at the
Revenue Cycle Landscape
Tuesday, May 10 - Concord
Wednesday, May 11 - Garden Grove
AHIMA Approved ICD-10-CM/PCS Trainers:
Gloryanne Bryant, RHIA, CDIP, CCS, CCDS, and
Nancy Andersen, MS, RHIA, CCS
Join Gloryanne and Nancy for a full day seminar as they look at the revenue cycle changes impacted by the implementation of ICD-10-CM/PCS code set and discover how healthcare organizations are addressing and handling this transitional change. Although it appears that a "smooth" transition may have occurred, it is important to take a step back and look more closely at the landscape of the revenue cycle starting from the pre-admission process, clinical documentation improvement, case management, documentation, coding, and finally to billing and reimbursement.
During this program, the presenters will share their knowledge about ICD-10 and revenue cycle impact since October 2015. They will review key CMS communications and guidance, discuss RAC and medical necessity, address ICD-10-CM/PCS data quality and reporting, and understand the importance of ensuring compliance.
