individuals with knowledge of medical office operations,
transcription, billing and coding. The business office of
every health care provider must submit the proper

reimbursement in order to financially succeed and avoid
fraud charges
The requirement has created numerous opportunities
for trained individuals to be employed in medical
offices, clinics, hospitals, insurance companies and do
home-based opportunities

The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is
the international standard diagnostic classification
for all general epidemiological purposes, many health
management purposes, and for clinical use.
ICD-10, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) was
developed by the U.S. National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS) along with an advisory panel to
ensure accuracy and utility in 1993.

exactness in describing a patient’s diagnosis
and in classifying inpatient procedures.

11. Benefits to ICD-10-CMBenefits to ICD-10-CM

•Improving payment systems and reimbursement
accuracy
•Measuring the quality, safety and efficacy of care
•Improve disease management
•Conducting research, epidemiogical studies, and
clinical trials
•Setting health policy
•Monitoring resource utilization
•Preventing and detecting healthcare fraud and
abuse

12. Clinical documentation is a vital component that
represents the medical condition of the patient and,
therefore, has always played a vital role in medical
coding. billing, medical research, hospital/physician
outcome studies, etc.
Complete, accuracy, specific and timely
Proper documentation is required

13. Medical Record Documentation:-Medical Record Documentation:-
1.The medical record should be complete and legible.
2.The documentation of each patient encounter should
include: the date; the reason for the encounter;
appropriate history and physical exam in relationship
to the patient’s chief complaint; review of lab, x-ray
data, and other ancillary services, where appropriate;
assessment; and a plan for care (including discharge
plan, if appropriate)
3.Past and present diagnoses should be accessible to
the treating and/or consulting physician.
4.The reasons for—and results of—x-rays, lab tests, and
other ancillary services should be documented or
included in the medical record.

14. Relevant health risk factors should be identified.
The patient’s progress, including response to treatment,
change in treatment, change in diagnosis, and patient
noncompliance, should be documented.
The written plan for care should include, when appropriate:
treatments and medications, specifying frequency and dosage;
any referrals and consultations; patient/family education; and
