$>>$ I$\text{'}$m sorry, Barbara, but I have to talk to you right now. $>>$ You know, I$\text{'}$m not the greatest judge of human nature but now, correct me if I$\text{'}$m wrong, but it seems to me like you're upset about something. $>>$ Yes. I$\text{'}$m a little ticked off. All right. I$\text{'}$m really ticked off. I just got done talking with our wonderful coding supervisor. And I $-->>$ What's the problem? $>>$ The October $1$st code updates haven't been installed yet. And today's October $1$st and it's $4$:$30$ p$.$m$.$ so guess what? It looks like it's not going to happen today. Tomorrow morning I have to code the October $1$st discharges. $>>$ And when you explained this to Vanessa, calmly, I hope, she said what? $>>$ She said that there are only a few changes this year and that most of them won't affect us anyways because we don't do transplants and burns. "Don't worry about it$,"$ she says. She says, $"$No problem." Yeah. No problem for her. $>>$ Well, OK$.$ Now, I understand the problem. I agree with you completely. And if Vanessa actually said no problem then she's wrong. It actually will be her problem. It'll be a problem for a lot of people. $>>$ I think it's going to be mostly my problem. $>>$ Not at all. First of all, let me tell you I had no idea that the code updates weren't installed. The fact that they're not installed is not your fault. $>>$ Thank you. It's a relief to hear someone say that. $>>$ If the discharges get miscoded because the updates aren't installed, that opens us up to a whole lot of other problems. You know the rule of GIGO, garbage in$,$ garbage out. But we're not just looking at poor quality data; we're looking at everything that flows down from there, improper reimbursements, even the potential for a fraud investigation. $>>$ Whoa. $>>$ Whoa is right. And CMS is no longer giving us a grace period, which means we have to address this issue now, meaning right now. So why don't you and I go and see Vanessa and see if we can get those code updates installed tonight. $>>$ Thank you. $>>$ Thank you. You just kept a small problem from becoming a much, much bigger one.
