2023 ACDIS Pocket Guide: The essential CDI resource

CDI professionals need a day-to-day reference when conducting their outpatient medical record reviews—one that can provide trusted clinical indicators for compliant and effective physician clarifications, and at-a-glance, easy-to-use diagnosis and Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) references. The 2023 ACDIS Outpatient Pocket Guide is the essential resource for outpatient coding guidance, HCC updates, compliant query best practices and standards, E/M requirements, and diagnostic definitions.

Co-written by ACDIS’ interim director and CDI education director Laurie Prescott, RN, MSN, CCDS, CCDS-O, CDIP, CRC; James Manz, MD, CCDS-O, a practicing physician at the Mayo Clinic who is steeped in the latest physician documentation terminology; and Autumn Reiter, MBA, BSN, RN, CCDS, CCDS-O, CDIP, CCS, vice president of CDI services and tech enablement for CorroHealth, the 2023 ACDIS Outpatient Pocket Guide is a winning combination of practical, tailored CDI tips and resources; helpful references including ICD-10-CM code mappings organized by HCC; and clinical, regulatory, and coding guidance adapted from the official sources.

The 2023 ACDIS Outpatient Pocket Guide offers the latest information outpatient CDI professionals need to know, including:

  • Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 guidelines
  • AHA 2022 Coding Clinic guidance
  • COVID-19-related updates
  • New provider tips from James Manz, MD, CCDS-O of Mayo Clinic
  • 80+ conditions including updates to lung and other severe cancers, dementia, personality disorders, spinal cord disorders/injuries, cystic fibrosis, and others
  • A new entry for thalassemia

New for 2023!

The 2023 ACDIS Pocket Guide introduces two new icons designed to assist you in easily identifying conditions with specific considerations:

  • toad icon  indicates that that a TOAD status code may need to be reported with this HCC. TOAD is a quick mnemonic that can be used to remind providers to capture Z codes related to conditions such as *T*ransplants, *O*stomies, *A*mputations/*A*IDS and *D*ialysis Status.
  • caution icon indicates that this HCC infrequently occurs in the outpatient setting; therefore, if it is listed as a diagnosis, it may have been inadvertently carried over from a recent/past hospitalization and used on a postadmission visit.
