Written by nationally-recognized coding authority, Therese (Teri) Jorwic, MPH, RHIA, CCS, CCS-P, FAHIMA, the course covers the diagnoses most likely to challenge coders.
ICD-10-CM: Coding Hypertensive Diseases offers instruction on the following:
- ICD-10-CM coding of hypertensive diseases, including essential, secondary, pulmonary, and pregnancy-related hypertension
- Applying ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting to coding of these diseases
- Coding of other hypertension-related conditions such as
- Hypertensive urgency, emergency and crisis
- Resistant and transient hypertension
- Pulmonary hypertension
- Sequencing and additional code requirements
- Hypertensive disease interactions (and how the coding changes as the number of these interactions grows).
Apply what you learn! Course includes
