Coagulation Disorders Coding in ICD-10-CM

Description

Coagulation Disorders and Coagulopathy Coding in ICD-10-CM is an online, self-paced course for inpatient, outpatient, and professional fee coders who assign diagnosis codes for bleeding disorders and abnormal coagulation conditions. This module explains what coagulopathy means clinically, how abnormal coagulation profiles present, and how conditions such as bleeding complications and anticoagulant-related disorders are documented. Coders will learn how to interpret clinical findings and treatment details and apply ICD-10-CM guidelines accurately. The course includes 1 AHIMA CEU and helps coders code coagulation disorders with greater clarity, accuracy, and confidence.

Included Lessons:

Common Coagulation Tests
What are Anticoagulants?
Coding Clinics Regarding Coagulation Coding
Considerations When Coding Coagulation Disorders
Coding Coagulopathies - Examples

Key Takeaways

Detailed Insight into Coagulation Disorders: The course will provide a comprehensive view of coagulation disorders, ensuring that coders gain in-depth knowledge on the subject.
Clarification on Coagulopathy: An emphasis will be placed on demystifying the term "coagulopathy," aiding learners in grasping its meaning and wide-ranging consequences.
Exploration of Abnormal Coagulation Profiles: Coders will delve into exploring abnormal coagulation profiles, focusing on elements such as bleeding and complications resulting from anticoagulant therapy.
Holistic Understanding: The course aims to furnish learners with a well-rounded understanding by covering both clinical considerations and coding strategies related to coagulation disorders.
Improvement in Coding Skills: The ultimate goal of the course is to enhance the learners' coding abilities and confidence levels, enabling them to adeptly handle coding tasks associated with coagulation disorders.
Inclusion of Practical Lessons: Essential lessons included in the course, such as 'Coding Clinics Regarding Coagulation Coding' and 'Coding Coagulopathies - Examples', ensure that learners receive a practical and applicable understanding of the topics discussed.

What will I learn about accurately coding coagulation disorders and coagulopathy in ICD-10-CM?

This course explains how ICD-10-CM classifies coagulation disorders and coagulopathies, including inherited, acquired, and medication-related conditions. You’ll learn how to interpret provider documentation to distinguish between specific clotting factor deficiencies, secondary coagulopathies, and bleeding disorders so you can assign the most accurate diagnosis codes.

How does the course help coders differentiate coagulopathy from related bleeding or clotting conditions?

The course breaks down the clinical and coding differences between coagulopathy, hemorrhagic conditions, and thrombotic disorders. You’ll learn how terminology, lab findings, and underlying causes affect code selection and how to avoid common errors when documentation is vague or overlapping.

Will this course improve my ability to apply sequencing rules and identify documentation gaps for coagulation disorder coding?

Yes. The course reviews ICD-10-CM sequencing guidelines for coagulation disorders, especially when they occur with conditions such as liver disease, sepsis, trauma, or anticoagulant use. You’ll also learn what documentation elements are required to support code assignment and when a query may be needed to ensure compliant reporting.
