Reimbursement: Incorrect DRG assignment leading to potential underpayment., Compliance: Non-compliance with ICD-10 specificity requirements., Data Quality: Inaccurate clinical data affecting patient management.

Mitigation

Query provider for specific glomerular lesion type per biopsy.

Specificity of coding

Impact
