CDI coding of procedures/operations
My director and I were discussing how coding isn't pleased with how our CDI's code procedures and
operations (when reviewing charts), and we wondered if other CDI programs coded procedures and
operations. We have several CDI's who talk about how time consuming it is to code the
procedures/operations, especially since we aren't coders, and trying to figure out all the details
needed to code an operation can be difficult to maneuver. Do your CDI's code procedures and
operations at your facility?
Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.
