JACKSON, Mich., May 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- MiraMed Global Services, Inc. (MiraMed), headquartered in Jackson, Michigan, is pleased to announce the release of the Spring issue of The Code, MiraMed's healthcare coding publication.
The Code features articles by experts in the industry covering the latest news in the world of healthcare and healthcare coding. As we all know, our industry is ever-changing and it takes effort to keep up on the latest developments.
In Coronary Artery Bypass Graft: An ICD-10-PCS Approach, Evan Lendle C. Ramos, RN, CCS, CIC, Senior Manager of the Medical Coding Training and Education Department with MiraMed Philippines Group, LLC – Philippine Branch, discusses coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG), a surgical procedure that improves blood circulation to the heart. With two main coronary arteries, each of which has several branches, coding determinations can be complicated and must be specific when coding for CABG in the ICD-10-PCS code set. Mr. Ramos provides guidelines not only for each of the seven character codes, but includes a clinical example as well.
Gregory R. Zinser, Vice President with Anesthesia Business Consultants, Inc., offers his helpful reference article The Office of Inspector General and 2017 Work Plan: An Overview for Practice Management and Coding Professionals. With selected excerpts from the 2017 OIG Work Plan, this will help you understand the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) and its mission, which encompasses more than 100 HHS programs at agencies such as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Indian Health Service (IHS) and National Institutes of Health (NIH).
