Outpatient Coder Training
Outpatient Coder Training
Approximately 16 hours
2011-2012
Review code Structure & Coding Conventions.
Learn the fundamentals
Analyze & practice applying the ICD-10-CM
guidelines
Review and refresh knowledge of A & P
concepts
Outpatient Coding Training
2012-2013
Become an expert in applying ICD-10-CM codes
to outpatient cases in the six to nine months
preceding October 1, 2013.
Practice using ICD-10-CM codes each week
leading into “go live” on October 1, 2013.
Network with peers to seek answers to cases
and confirm application of ICD-10-CM codes.
Take advantage of component MHIMA training
opportunities
Inpatient Coder Training

ICD-10-PCS systems.
Analyze and practice applying the ICD-10-CM
and ICD-10-PCS Coding Guidelines.

ICD-10-PCS codes to inpatient cases in the 6 to
9 months preceding October 1, 2013
Practice using ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS
codes each week leading into “go live” on

Continuing Education Unit
(CEU) Requirements
Required
to participate in a
predetermined number of mandatory
baseline educational experiences
specific to ICD-10-CM/PCS.
*Can Begin Earning CEU’s January 1,
2011 thru December 31, 2013
2009
or 2010 ICD-10 –CM Academy
CEU Requirements
Total
number of ICD-10-cm/PCS CEU
required, by AHIMA Credential
CHPS-
1 CEU
CHDA; RHIT;RHIA- 6 CEUs
CCS-P- 12 CEUs
CCS; CCA- 18 CEUs
If
you hold more than one credential,
only report the highest number of CEUs
CEU Requirements
CEU requirements will be included within the
total number of CEUs required for a given
CEU Cycle. For example, if you hold an RHIA
credential, you will obtain 6 CEUs that are in
relation to ICD-10-CM/PCS along with the
additional 24 CEUs to complete your
recertification cycle.
Reporting
of the CEUs will be made
available by Fall of 2011
Myths
October 1, 2013 is considered a flexible date
Implementation planning should be undertaken with an
assumption that DPHHS will grant an extension
Worker’s comp & auto insurance companies may choose not to
implement ICD-10-CM/PCS
State Medicaid Programs will not be required to update their
systems in order to utilize ICD-10-CM/PCS
The increased number of codes will make the new coding
system impossible to use
Developed without any clinical input
There will no hard copy of ICD-10-CM/PCS
All coding will be done electronically
Myths
Developed a number of years ago, so it is out of date
Unnecessarily detailed medical record documentation will be
required
Implementation can wait until after electronic health records and
other health care initiatives have been established
ICD-10-CM based super bills will be too long or too complex
The GEMs are intended to facilitate the process of coding
medical records
Each payer will be required to develop their own mappings,
GEM have been developed for CMS use only
Medically unnecessary diagnostic tests will need to be
performed in order to assign an ICD-10-CM code
CPT will be replaced by ICD-10-CM/PCS
ICD 10-CM Code Structure

Root Operations
30 Root Operations
Identifies the objective of the procedure
In order to determine the appropriate root operation, the full
definition of the root operation as contained in the PCS
Tables must be applied.
Components of a procedure specified in the root operation
definition and explanation are not coded separately. Procedural
steps necessary to reach the operative site and close the
operative site are also not coded separately.
Example: Resection of a joint as part of a joint replacement procedure is
included in the root operation definition of Replacement and is not coded
separately. Laparotomy performed to reach the site of an open liver biopsy
is not coded separately.
ICD-10-PCS: Root Operations
Excision vs. Resection
PCS contains specific body parts for anatomical subdivisions
of a body part, such as lobes of the lungs or liver and
regions of the intestine. Resection of the specific body part is
coded whenever all of the body part is cut out or off, rather
than coding Excision of a less specific body part.
Example: Left upper lung lobectomy is coded to Resection of
Upper Lung Lobe, Left rather than Excision of Lung, Left.
ICD-10-PCS: Root Operations
Biopsy followed by more definitive treatment
If a diagnostic Excision, Extraction, or Drainage procedure (biopsy)
is followed by a more definitive procedure, such as Destruction,
Excision or Resection at the same procedure site, both the biopsy
and the more definitive treatment are coded.
Example: Biopsy of breast followed by partial mastectomy at the same
procedure site, both the biopsy and the partial mastectomy procedure
are coded.
Control vs. more definitive root operations
The root operation Control is defined as, “Stopping, or attempting to stop,
postprocedural bleeding.” If an attempt to stop postprocedural bleeding is
initially unsuccessful, and to stop the bleeding requires performing any of
the definitive root operations Bypass, Detachment, Excision, Extraction,
Reposition, Replacement, or Resection, then that root operation is coded
instead of Control.
Example: Resection of spleen to stop postprocedural bleeding is coded
to Resection instead of Control
ICD-10-PCS: Root Operations
Release procedures
Example: Lysis of intestinal adhesions is coded to the specific
intestine body part value.
Release vs. Division
In the root operation Release, the body part value coded is the body part
being freed and not the tissue being manipulated or cut to free the body
part.
If the sole objective of the procedure is freeing a body part without cutting
the body part, the root operation is Release. If the sole objective of the
procedure is separating or transecting a body part, the root operation is
Division.
Examples: Freeing a nerve root from surrounding scar tissue to
relieve pain is coded to the root operation Release. Severing a
nerve root to relieve pain is coded to the root operation Division.

7 Different Approaches
Open

Via Natural or Artificial Opening
Open with Percutaneous endoscopic assistance
External
ICD-10-PCS
Device
A
device is coded only if a device remains
after the procedure is completed. If no
device remains, the device value No
Device is coded.
ICD-10-PCS
Obstetrics
Products of conception
Procedures performed on the products of conception are coded to the
Obstetrics section. Procedures performed on the pregnant female other
than the products of conception are coded to the appropriate root
operation in the Medical and Surgical section.
Example: Amniocentesis is coded to the products of conception body
part in the Obstetrics section. Repair of obstetric urethral laceration is
coded to the urethra body part in the Medical and Surgical section.
Procedures following delivery or abortion
Procedures performed following a delivery or abortion for curettage of
the endometrium or evacuation of retained products of conception are
all coded in the Obstetrics section, to the root operation Extraction and
the body part Products of Conception, Retained. Diagnostic or
therapeutic dilation and curettage performed during times other than
the postpartum or post-abortion period are all coded in the Medical and
Surgical section, to the root operation Extraction and the body part
Endometrium
