The coding of drug use has become relatively complicated since the implementation of ICD-10. The rules and regulations surrounding "drug coding" are immersive and, at times, complicated. In the "Do's and Don'ts of Drug Coding," we're going to tackle some of the most challenging issues immersed within this subject. Former outpatient coding compliance officer, Zach Grimes, will review common issues noted within the subject and teach you how to avoid denials associated with the coding of drugs. Learning objectives include distinguishing the difference between use, abuse, and dependence in coding; understanding the importance of coding medication usage; discuss the use of poisoning (intentional, self-harm, assault, unspecified), adverse effects, and under dosing; and review the guidelines cited use of coding drugs.
