Mechanism of Injury: It’s Not Just for Personal Injury Cases Anymore
|
|
ChiroCode Webinar: Thursday, February 9, 2012
|
|
Time: 4 pm Eastern, 3 pm Central, 2 pm Mountain, 1 pm Pacific
|
|
Presented by Ted A. Arkfeld, D.C., M.S., C.P.C.
|
 Determining the mechanism of injury for patients presenting from both traumatic and non traumatic etiologies is not only a Medicare documentation requirement for an initial visit, it is crucial to the establishment of the medical necessity of your treatment plans. Knowledge of the sequence of events and loads placed on anatomical structures will lead to the proper examination performance and diagnostic impressions. With ICD-10-CM fast approaching in October of 2013, doctors of Chiropractic will be required to document clearly the history and examination findings that correlate with the new diagnostic code sets (language) that we now know as ICD-10-CM.

ICD-10-CM is Big
|
 "ICD-10-CM is big. To put it under one’s tongue will require lots of effort on the part of everyone in your office. Coding professionals will need to learn more about anatomy and physiology in order to document with the required specificity of the new system. This adds a training burden to everything else that you have to do. And ICD-10-CM is new territory. There is no way to have a strong advantage, except to get an early start."
ChiroCode Members can read the rest of this article In the October 2011 issue of ChiroCode Hot Topics.
