ICD-10-CM Coding for Physicians - Gastroenterology**

Presented by: Barbara J. Hohenstein, RN, CCS, CCS-P, FCS, PCS, CPT and
Pat Schmitter, CPC, CPC-I

Office staff are welcome to attend ICD-10-CM Coding for Physicians seminars, however presenters will not address the detailed pathophysiology that many staff may need to code to the level of specificity required by ICD-10-CM.  ICD-10-CM: Getting Started for Staff – Phase 2 seminars will begin in September.  Staff training specific to your specialty will begin in early 2013. 

During this live lecture, physicians will become acquainted with the disease categories and specific changes for their practice specialty in preparation for ICD-10-CM and the transition from ICD-9-CM. They will review during the session how to improve and communicate disease or symptoms into ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM codes according to the specific physician based guidelines from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Included in this session is an open question and answer period as well as a workbook with useful tools to implement into their practices immediately.

At the end of this seminar, attendees should be able to:

1. Define the pathophysiological category changes from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM.
2. List techniques to improve quality and increase detail in medical record documentation to match new, more specific ICD-10-CM codes.
3. Identify ways to change encounter forms and EHR/EMR systems in order to accommodate the additional digits in ICD-10-CM codes and to improve data for billing and reimbursement.

    
Outline:

1. Most frequent specialty disease code comparison by pathophysiology ICD-9-CM
   to ICD-10-CM
   1. Clinical detail
2. Improving quality in the medical record
   1. Official physician based guidelines for ICD-10-CM from CMS
3. Capturing ICD-10-CM in your practice
   1. Enhancements to your encounter form
   2. From encounter form to EMR/EHR to claim form
   3. PQRS measures by ICD-9-CM
4. Open question and answer

The ISMA designates this lecture for a maximum of 2 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits^TM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.**
