Avoid the "Denial Detour" — stay on track with these strategies
Taking the wrong turn with diagnosis coding can send your claims straight into a denial — or worse, trigger an audit.
In this webinar, we’ll map out how to keep your ICD-10 coding consistent and compliant across the MDS and UB-04. You’ll learn where things commonly go off track, how to avoid missteps, and how to ensure your documentation and code selection support proper reimbursement for PDPM and Medicaid case-mix models.
Don’t let a mismatch stall your revenue cycle — get the guidance you need to stay on course!
Learning Objectives:
- Understand how ICD-10-CM conventions and coding guidelines apply to both the MDS and UB-04.
- Spot common coding misalignments that cause denials or draw audit attention.
- Apply defensible documentation and diagnosis selection practices that support reimbursement and reduce compliance risk.
