Description: Come on down & take a dive into diagnosis & vaccine coding for COVID-19 for 2022! The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the American Medical Association (AMA) have new COVID-19 releases for the year. Expert coder, Chyna Price RHIT, will help decode changes in this informational presentation.

COVID-19 has drastically impacted healthcare systems. As variants & a multitude of vaccines are being developed, new codes are needed for tracking & coding purposes.

Important topics to cover will be:

• ICD-10 CM additions
• CPT code additions to accurately capture COVID-19 vaccinations
• COVID-19 coding guidelines with case study review
