This presentation will outline the top 20 ICD-10 documentation issues that cause DRG changes. First, the reasons for MS-DRG changes will be outlined, including changes in coding guidelines, increased and decreased specificity of ICD-10, changes in diagnostic description meaning, changes in MCC/CC designators, and changes attributable to ICD-9 or ICD-10 coding errors. Next, the presentation will examine each of the top 20 documentation issues in detail, providing the cause and mitigation for the shift, and the resulting outcome. Attendees will also learn strategies for determining other DRG changes, including how to determine the top MS-DRG for an individual hospital, and how to look for opportunities to improve documentation, including templates. Based on this step-by-step process, presentation attendees will be able to employ the same process at their facilities to evaluate documentation for DRG changes of most concern.
