OVERVIEW

HTT / ICD-10 and HCC codes for Primary Care Practice is organized by Pri-Med and will be held during Oct 01, 2015 - Oct 01, 2018. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 0.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

Overview :

ICD-10 will replace the out-dated ICD-9 coding system this year. As of October 1, 2015, all Medicare claims must be submitted with a valid ICD-10 code or they will be rejected for payment by CMS. Additionally, many practices are participating in ACO ‘at-risk’ contracting. In order to be successful with such contracts, in is imperative that appropriate HCC (Hierarchical Conditions Categories) documentation is used to risk adjustment patients and help predict medical expenditures for a patient. While these changes are significant, the Electronic Health Record (EHR) can play an important role in meeting these billing/coding requirements. This presentation will overview the key issues related to using the new ICD-1O and HCC codes for primary care practice using a case-based approach and highlight how the EHR serves as a tool to insure success.

Learning Objectives :

• Review the key changes in ICD-10 for primary care practice
• Define the need to address HCC documentation
• Apply the useful tools that exist in current EHRs to assist with ICD-10 and HCC implementation

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
