Every year, medical coders face all kind of diagnostic coding changes. The reimbursement for diagnostics is the key for both the diagnostic providers and the payers. You should go for the right diagnosis code to the correct level of specificity to ensure timely payments and avoid denials. There's no doubt that the 2013 ICD-10-CM conversion is fast approaching; as such, you still need to be ready this year for all of the exciting changes to establish medical necessity.


For diagnostic coding strategies and other coding know how, sign up for an audio conference. When you get onboard one, you'll know how to implement the preceding diagnosis coding strategies, you'll be aware of Medicare's National Coverage Determinations (NSDs) and local coverage determinations, apart from being well-versed with all diagnostic coding know how. On signing up for such a conference, you'll also stay in tune with the right way to use the new and revised ICD-9 codes that will be effective from October 1, 2010.


The advantage of using such an audio conference is that you can skip the costly travel arrangements and ...
... wasted time as you can listen to it from the comforts of your office or meeting room. It also comes in multiple formats to fit your training needs - you can either choose to go for a CD or PDF transcript.


And the best part of attending an audio conference is the fact that you even stand to gain CEUs on attending the same. So go for one and give more steam to your Diagnostic coding strategies.
