Understanding the Official Coding Guidelines for ICD-10-CM Coding
Lunch program
Presented by: Karen Scott, MEd, RHIA, CCS-P, CPC, FAHIMA
If you code your own encounters, this one hour program is especially for you.
These guidelines are rules, often overlooked, that have been developed to complement official coding conventions and instructions provided within ICD-10-CM itself.
Adherence to these guidelines when assigning ICD-10-CM diagnostic codes is required under HIPAA.
Join us for a discussion of these rules underlying the use of the codes and instructions within the main body of the manual. For those who have never read the guidelines, it can be an illuminating experience. It is a great review and update for those familiar with coding and coding rules.
Date: Wednesday, Oct 4 OR Tuesday Oct 17
Time: 12:15 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Location: Online. Web link and handout will be sent one day prior to the event.

Coding the Endocrine System for 2024
Presented by: Karen Scott, MEd, RHIA, CCS-P, CPC, FAHIMA
Due to the importance of this topice,we are repeating this program that many were unable to attend in October. Those who attended at that time will not get a new certificate for this repeat.
The Endocrine system can be called the regulator due to its principal responsibility of providing a stable balance between interdependent elements of the human body through various hormones, thus making endocrine coding a necessary part of many specialties.
The ICD-10-CM and CPT-4 training session will include:
- Chapter specific terminology with anatomy
- Proper coding of conditions, disorders, and their complications
- Review coding sequencing, rules, regulations and conventions
- Stressing the importance of specificity in documentation and coding with identification
of co-morbidities that trigger HCCs (Hierarchical Condition Categories)
Please have your ICD-10-CM and CPT-4 manuals available for coding exercises.
You may submit your specific coding problems and questions to Donna Pendergrass at least a week ahead to be addressed by Karen during class. Please de-identify/remove any patient protected health information if you send clinic notes.
Date: Friday, Oct 13, 2023
Time: 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Location: Online only. Link will be emailed to registrants one day prior.
