Yes! True Health Search analyzes diagnostic scenarios to identify the most appropriate MS-DRG assignment while maintaining compliance. It shows how different sequencing or additional diagnoses could affect DRG assignment, explains CC/MCC capture opportunities, and provides geometric mean length of stay (GMLOS) data.
True Health Search employs a sophisticated conditional analysis framework. When facing incomplete documentation, it constructs decision trees showing multiple valid coding paths, clearly stating "If X is documented, then code Y applies; if Z is documented, then code W applies." The system assigns confidence levels to each interpretation and specifies exactly what additional documentation would resolve the ambiguity, ensuring you understand all possible outcomes.
Yes! True Health Search's advanced integration engine identifies when specific codes trigger both DRG assignment changes and PSI inclusions. For example, it will show how a secondary diagnosis code might increase your DRG weight while simultaneously causing inclusion in a quality measure. This dual analysis helps you understand the full financial and quality implications of every coding decision.
True Health Search uses intelligent document prioritization based on query type. For a complex inpatient case, it simultaneously checks ICD-10-CM guidelines, DRG definitions, HAC specifications, and PSI exclusion criteria. The system identifies when guidelines conflict, explains which takes precedence, and provides reasoning based on official CMS hierarchy rules. Every response includes verification across multiple authoritative sources.
When guidelines conflict, True Health Search explicitly notes the discrepancy and explains which guideline takes precedence according to official CMS rules. It presents each interpretation with supporting documentation requirements and compliance implications, allowing you to make informed decisions. The system always errs on the side of compliance and patient safety when conflicts arise.
Absolutely! True Health Search translates abstract statistical concepts into practical applications. Instead of just providing formulas, it explains risk adjustment using your specific scenario - showing how a patient's conditions affect the expected outcome rate, why certain diagnoses increase risk scores, and how this impacts your facility's quality rankings. It makes complex methodologies understandable through real-world examples.
True Health Search applies the actual CMS and AHRQ statistical methodologies to show how coding decisions affect rates. It explains how moving a single case from numerator to denominator impacts your PSI rate, demonstrates the effect on risk-adjusted scores, and shows how this translates to HAC penalty calculations. The system provides both the mathematical calculation and practical interpretation.
Yes! True Health Search's comprehensive reasoning process identifies documentation elements that impact multiple areas. For instance, it might flag that documenting "present on admission" affects DRG assignment, PSI exclusion, and HAC program inclusion simultaneously. The system prioritizes documentation improvements by their total impact across all programs, helping you focus efforts where they matter most.
True Health Search provides extremely specific recommendations, not generic advice. Instead of saying "document better," it specifies exact clinical elements needed: "Document the stage of the pressure ulcer (Stage 1-4, unstageable, or deep tissue injury) and laterality (right, left, or bilateral) to support accurate coding and potential PSI exclusion." Each recommendation links directly to guideline requirements.
Every True Health Search response includes detailed reasoning that teaches you to think like an expert coder. It doesn't just provide answers - it shows the analytical process, explaining why certain codes were considered and rejected, which guidelines apply, and how different documentation would change the outcome. This builds pattern recognition and critical thinking skills essential for coding mastery.
