Deciding when to use a case mix code in M1024 is one of the most difficult coding decisions to make. Join Jennifer as she discusses the background and purpose of this field. She will also take a look at the difference between complications and late effects, which can be confusing if the cause of a patient’s condition is difficult to discern.

Most patients with major diagnoses will also have several comorbidities. Join Jennifer as she discusses which comorbidities should always be coded on the OASIS and which should only be coded on the POC. She will also review what to do if a definitive diagnosis hasn’t been made but a patient has abnormal findings or lab results.

Because a significant component of an agency's average case mix weight is based on accurate diagnosis coding, agencies should closely monitor these two reports. Use the Case Mix report to drill down to specific branches and even specific clinicians' errors that may be causing you to see a decrease in your case mix scores. And since case mix equates to reimbursement, it is imperative that agencies have a way to find the problem areas. In this webinar, join Jennifer Warfield as she explains how to maximize the use of these reports.

Are you ready for the ICD-9 Coding Big Leagues?
Step up to bat and learn how to knock OASIS errors out of the park!

First Base: Signs & Symptoms, Ill-Defined & Unknown Conditions
When signs and symptoms are present but a definitive diagnosis hasn’t been made, coding guidelines allow us to use a code from chapter 16 of the coding manual. Ill-defined and unknown conditions are also addressed in this chapter. Join Jennifer as she discusses situations in which signs and symptoms are appropriate to code and what to do if a physician documents a symptom but doesn’t specify a diagnosis.

Second Base: Comorbidities, Abnormal Findings & Lab Results
Most patients with major diagnoses will also have several comorbidities. Join Jennifer as she discusses which comorbidities should always be coded on the OASIS and which should only be coded on the POC. She will also review what to do if a definitive diagnosis hasn’t been made but a patient has abnormal findings or lab results.
