| I created this
Coding Flowchart
in Microsoft Visio to
illustrate the maze of relationships between:
Professional Fees (CMS 1500,
CPT, ICD-9, HCPCS)
coding and billing and Facility
Coding (hospital, UB92, DRG's, ICD-9
Procedural Codes).
The differences are often
misunderstood.
You may use this diagram but please give credit to the original author -
Jeffrey Restuccio, CPC, CPC-H. I am the principal owner of Ritecode.com.
If you have any comments or suggestions on how to improve the Flowchart, please
Contact
me.
And, yes, the "simplified" is somewhat "tongue-in-cheek". There is
obviously nothing simple about this diagram! |
