  TOPIC

  THE PHYSICIAN QUERY PROCESS

  In order to assign the most appropriate ICD-10-CM diagnostic code, clear, precise diagnostic information must be provided by the practitioner.  Lack of such information leads to the assignment of an unspecified ICD-10-CM code.  Unfortunately many unspecified codes are mapped to "Return to Provider" under the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM).  Throughout the ICD-10-CM Coding Guidelines as well as in the AHA Coding Clinic, those assigning the diagnostic code are directed to 'query the provider' to obtain clarity and subsequently be able to assign the most appropriate code.  However, the querying process is not without risks of accusations of fraud.  There are specific criteria which must be incorporated in the querying process.  These criteria will be addressed during this webinar, including the provision of sample querying tools.
