Updated for 2026: Understanding the Official Coding Guidelines for ICD-10-CM Coding Nov 13
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:               Thursday, Nov 13   OR Tuesday, Nov 25

Time:                12:15 p.m.

Location:        Online. Web link and handout will be sent one day prior to the event.

**This series of in-service courses is open only to participating MetroCare Physicians members and their staff.

2025 Coding Preventive Services for Commercial and Medicare Plans Presented by: Karen Scott, MEd, RHIA, CCS-P, CPC, FAHIMA

2025 Coding Preventive Services for Commercial and Medicare Plans

Presented by: Karen Scott, MEd, RHIA, CCS-P, CPC, FAHIMA

The focus for preventive medicine services is to promote and maintain the well-being and health of patients to reduce risk of disease and disability. But preventive care also allows an opportunity for proper reporting of chronic disease burden in your practice population, allowing payers to more adequately estimate future resource use and cost of care for your patients. This can figure heavily in shared savings contracts and MIPS fee schedule adjustment calculations.

Karen will review

• What are considered preventive services for Medicare vs commercial plans and the proper codes to report
• Guidelines for documentation to successfully code/report all required parts of the IPPE/AWV
• Who may perform various parts of the AWV

Special topics:

• Services that are bundled in the preventive codes
• Addressing preventive services and an acute problem discovered on the same day
• Immunizations, Injections, and Lab documenting and coding for medical necessity

Date:              Friday Nov 14, 2025

Time:            9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.   

                   Location: online only.
                  Link will be emailed to registrants one day prior
