What I am hoping is that AI will become a tool that is still going to require human oversight, thus a human still needs to perform the job, but like has happened over and over since technology of any kind was made, each advancement allows 1 human to do the work of more than one human in the current status quo system that the new tech is altering.

This is exactly what is occurring right now. AI is reducing workloads and the result is the need for fewer Medical Coders. The Medical Coder of the future will be the oversight and will need to be highly skilled, dynamic, and able to resolve what AI cannot. It is already making the employment market far more competitive. Single skill coders and those that do not strive to excel are going to find the future quite challenging.

@@aaomcpakacompliantcodingsy7483 problem is, this is happening across the board for all kinds of jobs and at some point the number of better paying skilled jobs is going to become so small that the majority of people working those jobs will have to shift to lower paying jobs, if they can find work. I am very concerned about that.

I've been in the coding industry for 25 years. I'm doing account follow-up right now. The accounts are a hot mess. Resolving them has to do with the barriers put in place by the health insurance companies. It's criminal. AI can't solve what I'm solving. The only resolution AI could provide is a write off. Thats NOT going to help the bottom line. I'm open to what's next to develop but am struggling with how much I can tolerate to learn.

If the information from the CMS MACs that is presented in the video is followed, my opinion would be no. The CMS MACs leave a great amount of latitude/flexibility but largely state that dosage and medication must be documented. One should review the MAC statements and proceed accordingly. Hope this helps!

@aaomcpakacompliantcodingsy7483 10 ай бұрын
Thank you for your comment. It is hard to know if they are truly gaslighting, or just speaking outside their knowledge limits. Gaslighting is intentional (and stakeholders such as certifying bodies and employers would have motivation to to do this) equally disinformational though perhaps not with "intent" is talking about something that one does not fully understand. It is clear that many of those putting videos out have never spoken to an AI Developer, never seen "under the hood" of AI, and do not truly understand it. Perhaps it is for "clicks and likes". May of them refer to ChatGPT as if that is the AI that is being deployed in Medical Coding. 3M, Optum (Change Healthcare), and others are not setting ChatGPT loose on the healthcare field. They have spent a decade or more and countless resources developing Medical Coding AI. Unfortunately, in this era of information overload where everyone is a self pronounced expert and others will believe just about anything, it is easy to be duped if one does not have the initiative to fact check.

Umm that is great to have all the info above for Cid nurses but if not aware the national coding rules....proper reimbursement maybe lacking.
@aaomcpakacompliantcodingsy7483 10 ай бұрын
Hi and thank you for your comment. It should be noted that documentation should not be performed to "coding rules". In other words, complete and accurate documentation is the goal regardless of coding and reimbursement. It is a legal record in case of treatment disputes (appropriateness, etc.), it is used for research, continuity of care, and more. Coding is a downstream task that relies on documentation. In fact, coding should never be performed to "achieve" a desired reimbursement. The documentation is the driver of reimbursement, not the other way around.
@janespitfire9884 10 ай бұрын
I can see medical coders doing insurance denials also...multi tasking . They will still need med coders some to view to ensure documentation is correct. I can see submitting record to payers but rejected cause details not picked up. And if document is good with details you can code up to 70 or more records a day

Hi Just wanted to know is this Trump logic applicable for status codes also? For example - 1. E11.69( HCC 18 DM w/ complication and Z79.4( HCC 19 Insulin)? 2. Hemodialysis Z99.2(HCC 134) and ESRD( HCC 136)? As Insulin and Hemodialysis both are status codes, do we need to follow TRUMPING in the above scenarios?
@aaomcpakacompliantcodingsy7483 Жыл бұрын
Trumping is not based on "codes" it is based on HCC Hierarchies. Meaning, that by the time Trumping is applied, the coding has already been accomplished to determine the appropriate HCC(s) and if 2 or more HCC's exist in a hierarchy, which HCC will count towards the Risk Score. So, to answer your question, coding deals with the "Mappings" (assigning the accurate DX Codes) which then in turn will determine which (if any HCC) applies, and then (again) if 2 or more HCC's in a hierarchy exist, which is the highest weight. The highest weighted HCC in the hierarchy will count towards the Risk Score and others in the hierarchy will not. When you ask "Do we need to follow TRUMPING in the above scenarios?" The answer is this. No coder applies trumping or calculates a Risk Score. So, answer 1 is No, you are not responsible for actually applying the trumping, Answer 2 is, to be a knowledgeable Professional, you should be well versed in what you are doing and why you are doing it, even if you are not necessarily responsible for that particular element. Answer 3 is, in the scenarios presented, the goal is to code according to all guidelines, starting with the Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting as well as AHA Coding Clinic to arrive at the most complete and accurate code assignment, and thus the most accurate HCC(s). In the case of Medicare Advantage and the CMS HCC Model, CMS filters the data, uses that data to apply the appropriate HCC based on the coding, and then calculates the Risk Score. If you are making bread, you know to put yeast in the bread to make it rise, You are not making the bread rise, but you understand WHY you are putting the yeast in to achieve the result. Hope this helps!

Thank you for your observation and your correct statement. In the presentation it was mentioned that the scenario was for illustration purposes. The illustration was simplified intentionally so as not to confuse the audience with a complicated scenario where the point being made would risk being lost. This presentation is an “Introduction” and an “Overview” and is not intended to be a formal “class” and the presentation begins with a disclaimer to that effect. Indicating that the specialty of Risk Adjustment cannot be learned in a brief webinar. As such, some points are meant for illustration and general concept understanding for the sake of time. Only a full course provides the time to expand on every element. That said, your observation demonstrates that you are a knowledgeable Professional and have terrific command of the subject matter and you are to be commended for your expertise.

Hello, please give more guidance when you have time: F10.24 was assigned based on the scenario the coder mentioned. I am investigating this further to understand fully. I read in the AMA's 2019 ICD-10-M Documentation book, p.91 that "codes from this chapter requires documentation by the provider of a relationship between the psychoactive substance and the mental or behavioral disorder." This is also repeated in the Optum 360 Coder's Desk Reference for ICD-10-CM Diagnoses, p. 210. It states, "Alcohol dependence codes should only be assigned based on provider documentation. Codes from this subcategory that describe a mental or behavioral disorder should be used only when the relationship between and alcohol dependence and the documented mental or behavioral disorder has been clearly established in the provider documentation. " I understand the guidance is just emphasizing that there must be MEAT or support for the F10.24 diagnosis and not just a patient with MDD with Recurrent Severe with psychotic features and Alcohol Dependence with a BAL of 202. Thanks for your teachings
