Part 1 GI Bleeding in ICD-10-CM: Ensuring Accurate Coding and Documentation Introduction: Accurate coding of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in ICD-10-CM is crucial for effective communication, clinical management, and reimbursement purposes. This article presents a comprehensive decision tree for GI bleeding in ICD-10-CM, incorporating important clinical indicators, treatment considerations, and documentation queries.  GI bleeding may present as: Hematemeis – Vomiting of blood Melena – Dark, tarry stools Occult bleeding – Only visible through lab tests Hematochezia – Bright red blood in stool Common causes: Gastric/duodenal ulcers Diverticulosis Angiodysplasia Gastritis, colitis, Crohn’s disease , and more  Tip: Always code specific causes of bleeding when linked with terms like "with" in the Alphabetic Index or Tabular List . According to the Official Coding Guidelines , a presumed causal relationship exists between certain GI conditions and bl...

Why MEAT and TAMPER Method Is Crucial for Accurate HCC Coding

-
By: A Senior Coder at trainingicd10data.com Welcome to all aspiring and professional medical coders! If you're on your path to becoming a proficient HCC (Hierarchical Condition Category) coder—or already in the field—understanding the TAMPER method is key to improving accuracy, compliance, and risk adjustment outcomes. In this article, we’ll explore what the TAMPER method is, how it builds on the MEAT criteria, and how to apply it effectively through a real-world scenario. We’ll also connect you with other essential reads to strengthen your HCC coding expertise.   What Is the TAMPER Method in HCC Coding? TAMPER is a clinical documentation tool used to confirm that chronic conditions in a patient’s chart meet the criteria for risk-adjusted coding. It extends the widely known MEAT framework (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, Treat) by including three more elements that help validate a diagnosis in the medical record. The full breakdown of TAMPER : T – Treatment A – Assessm...

Laproscopic Cholecystectomy: PCS and ICD-10 Codes Explained

-
In this blog post, we will learn about laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove the gallbladder. We will go through the detailed procedure note to understand how the surgery is performed and its benefits. We will also explore the different ICD-10 codes used for preoperative and postoperative diagnosis, as well as the PCS codes for the surgical procedure. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a common surgical procedure used to remove the gallbladder in patients with gallstones, chronic cholecystitis, or other related conditions. This surgery involves making small incisions in the abdomen and inserting a laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera and light attached to it, to view the inside of the abdomen. Here is a detailed procedure note for a laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Preoperative Diagnosis: Chronic cholecystitis Postoperative Diagnosis: Chronic cholecystitis Procedure: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy with intraoperative cholangiogram After inductio...
