Thriving in the P4P Environment
|
Format: Audio CD-ROM (includes presentation materials) This four-part audioconference series provides an overview of the federal pay-for-performance initiatives and what is required of health care providers to thrive in the new P4P environment. As health care purchasers increasingly link reimbursement and the quality of health care, pay-for-performance is becoming the payment method of choice. As stated in the Introduction to the ICD-9-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, a joint effort between the health care provider and the coder is essential to achieve complete and accurate documentation, code assignment, and reporting of diagnoses and procedures. |
