Coordination & Maintenance Meeting: Live Reports and Updates

ICD10monitor correspondent Linda Holtzman, founder of Clarity Coding, will return to the Talk Ten Tuesdays (TTT) broadcast this coming Tuesday, March 7 to report on the activities at the Coordination & Maintenance Committee (C&M) meeting taking place from the headquarters of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

Holtzman, a longtime C&M observer, will bring her knowledge and expertise to her reporting of this important event – an essential meeting for coders and clinical documentation integrity specialists (CDISs). 

The two-day meeting will be held on March 7 and 8, virtually. The usual program will begin at 9 a.m. EST until 5 p.m. EST, until the business is finished. The tentative agendas are light this spring, with 18 topics on the diagnosis side and nine proposals for procedure codes. The procedure code information, however, will not be presented during the meeting. 

Remember, TTT will be covering this event live!
