Diagnosis coding is the process of translating clinical documentation of a patient’s medical conditions, illnesses, and injuries into ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes. ICD-10-CM is used in all healthcare settings to enable accurate record-keeping, data analysis, and the submission of valid healthcare claims for reimbursement.

ICD-10-CM: Coding of Chromosomal Abnormalities reflects the exponential growth of genomic testing and therapeutics. Diagnosis of these conditions often occurs in the obstetrical and pediatric settings. Accurate and complete coding requires detailed understanding of how abnormalities are characterized (mosaicism, numerical and structural abnormalities), how tests are used to determine carrier or susceptibility status, and interpreting the unique language used by providers to identify conditions. -
Queries are an essential communication tool for compliance, reimbursement, and quality improvement. Mastering the Query Process provides basic explanations, carefully selected examples, and clear and concise guidance for coding professionals on the tools and techniques used to create effective and compliant queries. -
