Alliance coding work group: Health Alliance Medical Plans case studies

Webinar event: 11:30AM CT - 1PM CT

Session description: 

• This call is one in a series designed for the Alliance coding work group.  These calls showcase one health plan at a time, whose team is responsible for sharing two case studies with the other group members for discussion. 
  • The case study charts will be shared at least two weeks in advance of the call, and made available on the coding work group's collaboration site.
  • Participants will review the charts in advance and bring documentation regarding how they would code and why. 
  • The discussion will be moderated by Health Alliance Medical Plan's named facilitator, who will summarize input and ultimately phrase the best practice identified.
  • The goal of each call is to arrive at a resolution for each “problem chart,” and document that resolution for the benefit of all Alliance members, with referenced literature/materials substantiating the decision. 
  • Alliance staff will assist in preparing the final documentation from each call, and the facilitator will review for accuracy prior to posting to the member website.
  • Any remaining time during the call will be available for open discussion, which could be used to:
    • Review the most recent online conversations between coders on the Alliance website.
    • Best practices could be called out and highlighted, with additional clarification and discussion as needed
    • Potential inaccuracies could be explored and follow up assigned to members of the group for the next call, if needed. 
    • Proven inaccuracies could be flagged for removal from the site, as needed.

This event is designed for:

Certified coders and managers with responsibility for the oversight of coders, as well as plan staff with responsibility for physician training around accurate and specific documentation related to coding.
