New Documents Posted to HCC University--and a Request

With the ICD-10 implementation date looming, we're increasing our focus on ICD-10 documentation and coding issues.  October 1 is very close!

We have recently posted a new link to the American Health Information Management's (AHIMA) ICD-10 superbill for primary care.

In addition, we've posted the full text of the Official ICD-10 Coding Guidelines and the 2015 ICD-10 Alphabetical Index, and the 2015 ICD-10 Tabular Listing of Diseases.

On our Presentations page, we have a Diabetes Coding in ICD-10 presentation.

We're currently creating a set of single page documentation tips for common coding situations.

But we know there's more we can give you to help you with this transition. We'd like you to send us suggestions for the following:


  • Specific disease categories that you feel could benefit from a tip sheet
  • Specific body system or disease states you feel you need presentations for you to use with your physicians, or for yourselves.
While we can't promise we'll be able to fill all requests, we'll do our very best.

Please send your suggestions to coding@scanhealthplan.com.  As always, we appreciate your feedback and help.

Thanks so much!
