To learn how to accurately code in ICD-10, you must practice coding. DecisionHealth's Home Health ICD-10-CM Coding Answers, 2023 is the perfect resource to help you practice coding the most common and most complicated home health scenarios so you can then apply your knowledge to real-life coding cases.

Practice your coding or teach others about coding by working through 200 ICD-10 coding scenarios that cover home health's most complicated situations.

New for 2023:

• New COVID-19 scenarios covering active COVID-19, exposure to the virus, and manifestations of the virus.
• Expanded rationale for each scenario on how to find the correct code in both the Alpha Index and in the Tabular
• Tips and warnings on what to look out for when coding complicated scenarios

Topics covered among the 200 scenarios include:

• COVID-19
• heart failure, hypertension
• pneumonia and related pulmonary conditions
• surgical and trauma wounds
• complicated wounds
• sepsis
• multiple diabetic manifestations
• lower extremity ulcers
• proper assignment of 7th character
• injuries, fractures
• late effects
• adverse effects
• and much more

You can code each scenario in the separate workbook, and then look up the answer and rationale behind the coding in the Answers Book. The scenarios are divided into disease sections that match the chapters of your Complete Home Health ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Coding Manual, 2023.

BONUS: You'll get a pocket guide of plain-English descriptions for ICD-10 coding terms common to home health that may be encountered while coding or reading medical documentation. It covers the definitions, abbreviations and proper uses of symptoms, diagnoses, conditions, anatomical areas, procedures, surgical techniques, medical equipment, drugs and more.
