Documentation and Coding Webcasts

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have posted a newly released webcast on ICD-10 documentation and coding concepts for orthopedics. This webcast is the first in the CMS "Road to 10" series designed to help providers with ICD-10 clinical documentation specific to a medical specialty.

An AHIMA-certified coder presents on the webcast, which focuses on unique ICD-10 clinical documentation needs and hot topics for orthopedics:

* Physician perspective/clinical impact of ICD-10
* Documentation requirements for certain conditions
* Documentation changes and new concepts
* Use of "unspecified" codes in ICD-10

In the coming weeks, CMS is planning to offer other webinars in the "Road to 10" series that will follow the same outline and objectives for other specialties, including cardiology (June 5), pediatrics (June 10), obstetrics and gynecology (June 12), and family practice and internal medicine (June 17).
