Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the webinar led by Lynn Andren, the key topic discussed was the ICD-10-CM updates for 2025. The updates include three deletions and a few revisions, with most changes being additions to the code set. Key updates involve the transformation of parent codes into more specific codes, a process that renders old codes invalid. Participants were advised to update their practice management systems and EHRs to prevent claim denials after October 1, 2025. Key updates include expanded and specific codes for conditions such as Hodgkin’s lymphoma in remission, type 1 diabetes, and various types of lymphomas. The webinar also provided information on modifications in codes associated with obesity, eating disorders, certain congenital disorders, and postoperative complications. A focus was placed on documenting conditions accurately to prevent claim rejections, especially with unspecified codes. Additionally, there are new guidelines on the use of codes for social determinants of health. Lynn emphasized the importance of ensuring documentation aligns with diagnosis codes and stayed compliant with guideline changes to maintain efficient claims processing. The webinar included a Q&A option and highlighted the resources available through the AOA for additional support.
