Procedure and disease codes are used for a variety of purposes in the Department of Defense, as they are in other private and government health care facilities: revenue generation, workload and utilization, productivity and staffing, provider privileging, analysis of health care trends, and health-related research. Department of Defense health care providers must possess a working knowledge of coding, documentation, and reimbursement in order to meet the compliance, revenue, and program management demands of contemporary health care. This presentation will provide practical knowledge on code systems, coding and documentation, and reimbursement. The presentation will consist of a general overview of coding and documentation, clinical examples, and discussion.
