Description: Every healthcare professional has had to make quick adjustments due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Coders and CDI professionals were certainly not left out. New ICD-10-CM codes were quickly implemented in April of 2020, with a consistent onslaught of new and revised coding guidelines, the addition of ICD-10-PCS and CPT codes when vaccines and treatments hit the market. As the medical community and scientists continue to learn more about COVID and its affects daily, the assignment of codes and clinical documentation continues to challenge coders and CDI professionals. This presentation provides the most up to date coding information, as well as case scenarios and resources.
