SPECIAL EDITION COVID-19: “With” versus “For”
Episode description
In today’s supercharged general lexicon, words have enhanced meaning. So as more and more hospitals admit patients, the words “for” and “with” are garnering great significance.
With hospitals filling up with patients who have a COVID-19 diagnosis linked to their stay, what is the actual admission for?
During next week's Talk Ten Tuesdays broadcast, we have asked nationally recognized professional coding expert, educator, and author Terry A. Fletcher to report on the ever-evolving COVID-19 diagnosis capture. Fletcher, in her reporting, is expected to discuss new information from New York and New Jersey, where there is now a distinction that not all COVID-19 hospitalizations are the same. Listen in to find out now how COVID-19 is being reported in many states for added accuracy.
