Dear John, On October 1, CMS will implement hundreds of new ICD-10-PCS codes—are you and your team ready? Changes include 392 new, 216 deleted, and eight ICD-10-PCS code revisions, as well as new tables and characters added to existing tables. Hospitals also need to be ready for all the MS-DRG changes that are about to be effective for fiscal year 2019. For example, CMS has assigned all procedures involving the Insertion of a complete pacemaker system (Insertion of a pacemaker device combined with an Insertion of a pacemaker lead) to surgical MS-DRGs, proving that knowledge of the MS-DRG updates is necessary for proper reimbursement. To ensure that you and your team are prepared for next month’s challenges, join expert speaker Adrienne Commeree, CPC, CPMA, CCS, CEMC, CPIP, as she sifts through these MS-DRG classification changes and reviews the new and revised code descriptions for the 2019 ICD-10-PCS code set. Your entire staff can listen in to this 60-minute program for one low price. Sign up now and join us for this amazing and informative session. We can't wait to share this info with you! |
