In just one hour we will demystify HCC coding so that coders can feel more confident in their ability to correctly capture the diagnoses documented by their clinician. We will talk about how HCC started and how it works behind the scenes. Most importantly during our time together, we will go over some specific coding guidelines and help show coders how to look for MEAT so that they can abstract codes from the medical record accurately. We will review some common coding errors and give coders the knowledge they need to avoid those pitfalls.
