DSM-5-TR Update Webinar 2022

What Providers Need to Know 

Activity Description

After nine years of using the Diagnostical and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), changes are on the horizon for behavioral health practitioners with the release of the Diagnostical and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR). In March of 2022, the DSM-5-TR was released with a new disorder, changes, and clarifications for 70 disorders, and billing updates that include new ICD-10-CM codes. Important in this revision is how culture, racism, and discrimination are viewed from the diagnostic lens. Revisions from the DSM-5 to the DSM-5-TR will be reviewed in this webinar with a focus on understanding how the changes will impact diagnosing, billing practices, strategies to address cultural changes, and application to real-world cases.
