Different but related codes not on the same line and one unjustified code in Hospital’s
column = Two errors (incorrect diagnosis code and unjustified additional diagnosis
code).
Hospital codes with no matches highlighted in yellow, the Auditor’s code with no match
is highlighted in blue and Three Error Log boxes, one not required..
The highlighting of coding differences and the display of Error Log boxes occurs in a similar way
for procedure codes.
In the following examples there are four potential errors because the Hospital and Auditor’s
codes do not exactly match. There are however only two real errors, (incorrect procedure code
in both cases) involving incorrect selection of type of hysterectomy and ASA for the anaesthetic
codes.
