CME webinar: Provider Diagnosis Documentation Improvement

Jul. 2024Education/Webinars

Please join UPMC Health Plan’s Risk Adjustment/HCC Coding Education Program Director Marlana Tice for a live, continuing medical education (CME)-accredited webinar on Thursday, Sept. 26, from noon to 1 p.m., that will deliver an overview on provider diagnosis documentation improvement.

During this presentation, we will provide a comprehensive overview of official documentation and coding guidelines needed for proper reporting, focusing on:

  • Gaining awareness that supporting diagnosis codes in the medical record also supports the level of medical decision making that in turns drives E&M code assignment.
  • Reviewing common provider diagnosis documentation deficiencies in the E&M record.
  • Demonstrating an understanding of official documentation and coding guidelines for proper ICD-10-CM code reporting.
  • Building skills of best practice documentation to support ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes.

AHIMA-Approved ICD-10-CM/PCS Trainer,
