Coding Clinic
Webinar Description
A Historical Perspective of the Most Common DRG
Evolving, and controversial, definitions and interpretations of sepsis have led to the development of complex coding systems that attempt to capture the severity of sepsis. Sepsis is one of the most frequently coded DRGs, and one of the most expensive. Much effort has gone into promoting the appropriate detection and treatment of sepsis, yet there is a high rate of overdiagnosis. This has led to a high volume of sepsis diagnosis that do not seem supported by the patient’s clinical course, or the resources used to care for the patient. This presentation explores our understanding of sepsis. We explore how our current understanding of sepsis has thus resulted in coding challenges. We will dive into how these challenges can be reconciled using clinical validation and claims review and will present a variety of case studies that illustrate how we can protect against inappropriate coding and expense.
