CCO Club Q&A #1736 (1).jpg

Join us for CCO Club Q&A #1736, where we’re focusing on one of the most misunderstood—but most important—coding fundamentals:


🔹 Principal and First-Listed Diagnoses: Why It Matters (REQ-1560)


Choosing the correct principal (inpatient) or first-listed (outpatient) diagnosis can impact:
✅ Medical necessity and claim approval
✅ DRG assignment and reimbursement
✅ Risk adjustment and quality reporting
✅ Audit risk and compliance


In this session, we’ll break down:
✅ The difference between principal vs first-listed diagnoses
✅ Inpatient vs outpatient rules (and when they change)
✅ Common mistakes coders make when sequencing diagnoses
✅ Documentation tips that support correct sequencing
✅ Live Q&A — bring your tricky cases and questions


Whether you’re new to coding or a seasoned coder who wants to tighten up sequencing accuracy, this session will help you code with confidence and protect reimbursement.
