Check out upcoming Eli audioconferences on late effects coding and the impact of risk adjustment on coding for OASIS-C.

• Coding Late Effects In Home Health. Wed. July 15, 1 p.m. ET. Because there is no chapter in the ICD-9 manual specific to late effect codes, these codes are very often listed inaccurately or not coded at all. Join coding expert Tricia A. Twombly to identify the difference between a late effect code vs. an acute code, when it’s appropriate to use late effect codes and how it might affect reimbursement. For more information, go to www.audioeducator.com/home-health/coding-late-effects-home-health-130711.html or call 1-866-458-2965.

• The Impact Of Risk Adjustment On Coding For OASIS-C. Wed. Sept. 7, 11 a.m. ET. Risk adjustment is an important part of home health and will become even more important as the industry moves toward pay for performance. Join coding expert Tricia A. Twombly to gain insight into the updated overview of risk adjustment and outcome measures and a better understanding of the relationship between coding and risk adjustment.
