Case Conversations: Managing Cases and Optimizing Clinical Coding

This episode is co-presented by the Association of Physician Leadership in Care Management and the American Case Management Association. In this episode, we are joined by three physicians, Dr. Rebecca Severe, a Hospital Medicine-certified physician serving as Medical Director of Care Management for Advocate Aurora Health, Dr. Sweta Singh, Medical Director of Care Management at the University of Michigan Medical School, and Dr. Teresa Jacobs, Clinical Professor of Neurology at the University of Michigan Medical School. In this conversation, the participants discuss two medical cases and the decision-making process for inpatient versus outpatient care. The first case involves a patient with cord compression and the need for surgery. The second case involves a patient who was scheduled for a TAVR procedure, but it was aborted. They also discuss the billing and coding implications of these cases.
