RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: CHF/CARDIOMYOPATHY
I personally like this idea. Remember that one role of CDI is education
and another is to be that translator between coders and providers. I'm
always a fan of the face to face interaction so you can express your
question and they can provide feedback as well. That way everyone
learns something and you may build a better working relationship with
the provider.
Hope does spring eternal.
