    Wiki HASBLED and CHAD2DS2-VASc

    There is a provider asking about these two assessments and how to bill. Has anyone billed this and what code(s) can be used? I don't know if CPT 96160 is appropriate. For the CHA2D the code G9931 was mentioned as a quality reporting code. If you have billed this, and have a source, would you...

This would be based on a standard yearly audit for each provider, as well as fixing any errors that may come across our WQs as we call them. So far the consensus is, 1 Auditor: 50...

    Wiki Discharge Code

    Are doctors Y and Z within the same group? I work for a hospitalist group where we have different providers from our group seeing the same patient. If this is the case, then I would use 99232 for 2/6/18.

    Wiki AAPC vs AHIMA

    I emailed with a recruiter for a particular company. They accept AHIMA credentials, and not AAPC. I've seen this quite a few times. Thoughts?

    Wiki Unspecified Codes

    I absolutely agree! I told my providers about the specificity codes, and they basically said the same thing. This helps to confirm what I had been thinking and getting "frustrated" about. Thank you!!

    Wiki Unspecified Codes

    The provider may not know what type of anemia, so they just state anemia. . .so then I have nothing else to use other than D64.9. However the insurance companies are denying it. But, I'm getting this information from the billing office who does the appeals, so maybe it's because they don't...
