This course discusses the selection of primary and other secondary diagnoses for home health, including the impact of the Conditions of Participation, OASIS rules and PDGM. The chapter-specific guidelines are presented for common home health conditions, including infections, neoplasms, diabetes, circulatory, neurological and respiratory diagnoses, as well as common injuries and complications. Examples and practice scenarios will be reviewed to ensure understanding.

You MUST have a Current 2020 or 2021 ICD-10-CM Coding Manual for this Virtual Workshop

The most current version of ICD-10-CM coding manual is available through Selman-Holman at https://selmanholmanassociateswebstore.mybigcommerce.com/2020-complete-home-health-icd-10-cm-diagnosis-coding-manual/  (follow the links to the bookstore; discount provided in cart) or by calling 214-550-1477 ext. 7 to ensure you receive the 2021 version. 

This class is designed with intermediate coders in mind.  We recommend a review of the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting for 2020, pages 1 -20 of the document found at:

https://ahcc.decisionhealth.com/media/1241/icd-10-cm-guidelines-ahcc-2020.pdf               

prior to the workshop.  These pages describe and define the Coding Conventions (Section I.A) & General Coding Guidelines (Section I.B).  It is expected that intermediate coders already possess this foundational knowledge as it will not be the focus of this class.  Your pre-class efforts will greatly enhance your learning experience.

2. State one chapter-specific guideline for coding Infections, Neoplasms, Diabetes, Circulatory and Respiratory conditions
3. State one chapter-specific guideline for coding injuries and complications
4. Describe how to identify the primary diagnosis for home health coding
