Instructions

Create a minimum of a 10-slide presentation that explains the steps to accurate coding. For each step, include detailed instructions about the coder’s role. Within your presentation, include the need specificity in diagnosis coding with multiple codes as well as how to report acute and chronic conditions, combination codes, residual effects, and late effects. Additionally, include the alphabetical index and tabular.
