Coding Overview
Facilities, providers, and third-party payers use coding systems and medical nomenclature to collect, store, and process data.Used for healthcare reimbursement
![Page 8: Unit 1 Presentation Chapters 1 & 2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56812ad8550346895d8ebb57/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Codes
Numeric and alphanumeric charactersAssigned to diagnoses, procedures, and
servicesReported to payers and external agenciesUsed internally for education, research,
and statistical purposes

12
Documentation Issues
Health care providers are responsible for documenting and authenticating patient records as legible, complete, and timely.
Health care providers must properly correct or alter errors in patient record documentation.
![Page 13: Unit 1 Presentation Chapters 1 & 2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56812ad8550346895d8ebb57/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Patient Record
Primary purposes:Serves as official business recordDocuments services and treatment providedStores demographic dataSupports diagnosesJustifies treatmentFacilitates continuity of careServes as communication toolAssists in planning individual patient care
![Page 14: Unit 1 Presentation Chapters 1 & 2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56812ad8550346895d8ebb57/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Patient Record
Secondary purposes:Evaluates quality of patient careProvides data for use in clinical research and
epidemiology studiesProvides information to third-party payers for
reimbursement of submitted claimsServes medicolegal interests of patient, facility,
and providers
![Page 15: Unit 1 Presentation Chapters 1 & 2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56812ad8550346895d8ebb57/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Medical Necessity
Patient diagnosis must justify procedures or services provided by documenting procedures, services, and supplies that are:Needed for diagnosis and treatmentPerformed to diagnose the patient, direct patient care,
and/or treat the patient’s conditionConsistent with standards of good medical practice in
local areaNot performed primarily for convenience of physician or
health care facility
![Page 16: Unit 1 Presentation Chapters 1 & 2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56812ad8550346895d8ebb57/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
If It Wasn’t Documented,It Wasn’t Done
Patient record serves as medicolegal document and facility’s business record
If provider performs service, but does not document it, payer can refuse to pay
Patient record is defense of quality of care administered to patient
![Page 17: Unit 1 Presentation Chapters 1 & 2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56812ad8550346895d8ebb57/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Assumption Coding
Assignment of codes based on assuming that patient has certain diagnoses or received certain procedures or services
Considered fraud
NOTE: Implement physician query process to avoid fraud risks associated with assumption coding.
![Page 18: Unit 1 Presentation Chapters 1 & 2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56812ad8550346895d8ebb57/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Physician Query Process
Contact responsible physicianQuery physician regarding
documentationDetermine whether query will be
generated concurrently or retrospectively

Verifying Codes
Coders are responsible for reviewing patient records to select the appropriate diagnosis and procedure or service.
Claims can be denied if the medical necessity of procedures or services is not established.
