ICD-10 documentation training: review of current issues & improving coding efficiency to avoid payment delays and denials

Introduction

ICD-10 has been in effect for almost 3 years but yet statistics reveal that many providers are still struggling with their documentation. It’s clear that with so many codes, it is at times difficult in dictating the direct anatomical documentation, and because of this, many providers are continuing to lose revenue.

At times, it can be confusing to accurately code especially as codes have been changing with ICD-10 updates and new billing guidelines.
