CWTC [Episode 98] Obs After Surgery, Order Plus POC, Selecting the PDx - Make Your Revenue Smarter
Ida in Georgia

Welcome to Coffee with the Coder®, our conversation with Paula Digby and her team to address issues, observations and questions for Health Information Management professionals, physicians, auditors, payors and students. You are invited to listen in for ten to twenty minutes every other Monday and to submit your favorite questions or comments for Coffee with the Coder® To receive text notifications send an email to help@AQ-IQ.com with your request. We will text you in the hour prior to the start of the next episode.

In Episode 98, all the questions were submitted anonymously, so the entire audience was in the drawing for today’s “mugging”. The first questioner was concerned about automatically placing post-surgical patients in observation. Another person wanted to know if a physician order and a plan of care were both required for outpatient therapy. The final concern was in selection of the Principal Diagnosis for an inpatient stay – with more than one diagnosis meeting the requirement for PDx, can we select the one that pays more?

Congratulations to today’s winner,  Lori. This wonderful “mugshot” is our friend (and multiple “mugging” winner), Ida. 

Dial in for the next Episode on September 28th beginning at 10:10 am Eastern (7:10 am Pacific).
