Questions In The Chat
ICD-10 DX Codes
My question for later is is it true that ICD-10 will only take (most insurance companies) only 4 dx codes? -Theresa
Questions In The Chat
Workers Comp
Question for Joann. If it is workers comp pt is it a problem for the doctor to put other conditions on the claim. Would this be a HIPAA problem?
Additional other conditions I mean like health conditions.
Questions In The Chat
Manuals for coders/billers
Do payers have manuals that coders/billers can use? Sounds like most have their own rules. Like CMS won't accept modifier 50, they want RT LT based on the internship workplace.
Questions In The Chat
Is HCC for Insurance Companies?
Is HCC Coding just for Insurance Companies or an Outpatient Office can code HCC?
Questions In The Chat
ICD-9 or ICD-10
Do I want to take the cpc for ICD-10 or go ahead with the ICD-9, as that is what I am studying for and hoping to take in June?
