Talk Ten Tuesdays

An Insider’s View of the AHA Coding Clinic

Gloryanne Bryant, RHIA | Tiffany Ferguson, LMSW | Laurie Johnson, MS | Timothy Powell, CPA | Erica Remer, MD Season 13 Episode 573

A must-have resource for any coding or clinical documentation integrity specialist (CDIS) is the American Hospital Association (AHA) Coding Clinic. Each quarterly issue provides official guidance for ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS coding for all healthcare settings.

The third-quarter issue covers a variety of topics, from prescribed marijuana use for chronic pain during pregnancy to subcapsular hematoma, epidural hematoma, and several ICD-10-PCS procedures – Hemospray, HeRO® Graft, and NAVA among them, for example.

The fourth-quarter issue contains details on the new codes for the 2024 fiscal year (FY), their use, and official guideline changes. In addition, this issue provides new insight into the coding of “intraoperative serosal tears,” which is extremely helpful.  

During the next live edition of Talk Ten Tuesdays, senior healthcare consultant Gloryanne Bryant will be the broadcast’s special guest. As an accomplished webcast leader, she will walk you through the third and fourth quarters of the AHA coding clinic.
