Re: [MARKETING] RE: [MARKETING] ABL Anemia/Clinical Indicator Query
I agree, Paul. Lots of responsibilties for coders & CDI's for compliant diagnosis reporting. A coder must make a decision at time of discharge to code or not to code a diagnosis even though it has been documented by the provider. They must review the chart and determine if the dx. meets reporting guidelines. Coding professionals have a big responsibility and should have the education & skills needed to make the final decision on what codes are placed on the bill.
