Welcome to Coffee with the Coder^®, our conversation with Paula Digby and her team to address issues, observations and questions for Health Information Management professionals, physicians, auditors, payors and students. You are invited to listen in for ten minutes every other Monday and to submit your favorite questions or comments for Coffee with the Coder^®

Today Paula Digby responds to questions involving obesity counseling, bundling of revascularization codes, whether to report a diagnosis of ‘weakness’ on every patient in an IRF (inpatient rehabilitation facility), and how to utilize BMI when the patient has a non-standard body.

Congratulations to today’s winner, Debbie in Pennsylvania! This “mug shot” is our newest expert, Rucha Purohit.
