Coding Clinic continues to focus on ICD-10-PCS

Many coders and CDI specialists memorized previous Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, Coding Clinic for ICD-9-CM and do not have to give them a lot of forethought before applying correctly to their day-to-day reviews. Although many of the Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting remain the same in ICD-10, none of Coding Clinic's previous advice can be applied to the new code set. Without years of new Coding Clinic advice under their belts, it may take some time before the staff exhibits the same ease when applying ICD-10-CM/PCS codes to the documentation provided.
