EHRs and Coding Errors - What Every Practice Should Know

In this webinar attendees will learn the common problems associated with coding applications, their implementations and their monitoring in clinical practice.

Why Should You Attend:

A substantial percentage of Electronic Health Record (EHR) applications have features that assist providers with determining evaluation and management, diagnosis, device and procedure codes. When designed, implemented and used correctly they can improve coding accuracy and supporting documentation. However, inaccuracies in assisted coding platforms can place healthcare organizations at risk for lost revenue, denials, rejections, and in some instances substantial penalties. At this time there is no regulatory body that ensures that software applications and/or their implementations are accurate or validated.

This session will review common problems associated with coding applications, their implementations and their monitoring in clinical practice.

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

• E/M coding and documentation
• ICD-10-CM and HCC coding and documentation
• CPT procedure coding and documentation
• EHR coding design issues and potential errors and how to avoid them
• Best practices in coding and documentation
• EHR content (e.g., template) issues and their impact on coding
• Knowledge of EHR coding deficiencies can prevent negative audits
• Improvements in documentation and coding based on medical necessity may result in significant increases in revenue
