Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greater number of ICD-10-CM diagnostic codes means an even bigger need for detailed clinical documentation. Making the right codes selection requires having adequate clinical detail, and under ICD-10, clinician's documentation will-- more than ever--translate into reimbursement gained or lost. The quality of clinical documentation is a longstanding challenge. This manual provides the resources you need to gain physician cooperation and to enhance coding through clinical documentation improvement for ICD-10-CM. Important Note: Clinical documentation improvement (CDI) is not about how to code in ICD-10. CDI is knowing what to look for in medical records, as well as how to ask for clarification and get ongoing changes to the notes and comments provided by physicians.
