  • 31. Questions In The Chat ICD-10 DX Codes My question for later is is it true that ICD-10 will only take (most insurance companies) only 4 dx codes? – Theresa
  • 32. Questions In The Chat Workers Comp Question for Joann. If it is workers comp pt is it a problem for the doctor to put other conditions on the claim. Would this be a HIPAA problem? Additional other conditions I mean like health conditions.
  • 33. Questions In The Chat Manuals for coders/billers Do payers have manuals that coders/billers can use? Sounds like most have their own rules. Like CMS won’t accept modifier 50, they want RT LT based on the internship workplace.
  • 34. Questions In The Chat Is HCC for Insurance Companies? Is HCC Coding just for Insurance Companies or an Outpatient Office can code HCC?
  • 35. Questions In The Chat ICD-9 or ICD-10 Do I want to take the cpc for ICD-10 or go ahead with the ICD-9, as that is what I am studying for and hoping to take in June?
