With thousands of codes and changes based on the new Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM), accurate ICD-10 coding is essential. If you’ve been looking for training for your staff, AHCA has partnered with the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) to offer online training on ICD-10 coding in PDPM.

PDPM relies on accurate patient assessments and diagnosis on the MDS and ICD-10 coding to determine payment for each patient. Inaccurate coding can negatively impact a facility’s bottom line and resident care. Check out these courses to get ready for October 1!
