3M Quality Webinar
March 17, 2021
Among so many other changes, the COVID-19 pandemic brought a multitude of new diagnosis and procedure codes with new coding guidelines. These new code sets brought a renewed emphasis on coding validation.
Beyond payment accuracy, the right coding data offers tremendous long-term value, including researchable data and crucial insights into disease processes and progression, as well as outcomes at the aggregate level. Join 3M as we explore the value and insights that could be hiding in your coded data. We’ll share some of the surprises we’ve found through multiple coding validations and we’ll share what those could mean for you.
Because we anticipate a high volume of registrations, we are offering a recording of the live presentation during session two.
