ICD-10, Claims & Coding Solutions Guide

Optimize outpatient reimbursement

McKesson has expanded its Intelligent Coding portfolio for emergency departments (EDs) to include observation services. The new module is designed to help hospitals automate coding when patients transfer between ED and observation areas. The aim is to recognize revenue for patient observation services in an easy, consistent and compliant manner, providing a detailed coding summary of observation charges. This module will also work with non-McKesson financial systems.

Medication decision support code set updated

An ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS revision is available for FDB MedKnowledge, a proprietary clinical drug knowledge program also used for clinical decision support. Clinicians use the codes to record patient problems and when performing drug-disease decision support for drug-disease contraindication screening, screening for drug side effects, drug indications and indication-specific drug dose checking. Since patient profiles will continue to contain ICD-9-CM codes for several years to come, FDB will continue to support ICD-9-CM codes.
