AHIMA Competency lV.1: Validate assignment of diagnostic & procedural codes and groupings in accordance with official guidelines.
Bloom level: 5
TOPIC: Computer-assisted coding
Coders in your organization have been anxious ever since they heard that computer-assisted coding (CAC) was going to become part of the HIM coding process. They were worried that their jobs would be lost to a computer program that would do all the coding.
After researching what CAC is and referencing the coding class you are presently taking, define CAC and then give at least one example to demonstrate how as a coder your job is still necessary because coders need to validate any code they use. What corrective action would coders use to validate codes even though they are using CAC?
