Critical points:
--Exclusions we mentioned have to be not only POA but also PDX (with a couple exceptions such as GI bleed with a secondary dx of esophageal varices)
--Key strategies to avoid PSI 04 include:
-----Verification of the procedure coding
-----Verification of admit source

Coder vs. CDI is the industry's first talk show format podcast focused on bringing you interesting and new perspectives on clinical and coding topics. Regularly you'll hear the voices of Allen Frady, Amy Czahor, and Kyle Boyd discussing things that we all think - but nobody wants to say out loud.

Make sure you listen to our Saturday episodes when Dr. Stark, Physician Advisor Extraordinaire, will answer YOUR questions on clinical and coding topics -  You can submit your questions here.

Don't forget to use the #Allensaysthedarndestthings hashtag to tell us when we've made a mistake or you disagree with us in some way, no matter how small.
