There are a large number of coder training options and vendors and choosing the right one is crucial. Here are a few things you should look for in an ICD-10 clinical coding training course.
For all the lamenting going on about ICD-10, there are actually a number of ways it is better than ICD-9, in fact in some cases by leaps and bounds.
The implementation of ICD-10 is looming and according to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), there will be no extension to the October 1, 2015 deadline.
Many EPs (eligible professionals) find themselves trying to prepare for the ICD-10 transition only to find some of the information they’ve been working with wasn’t accurate.
ICD-10 is the elephant in the room that everyone’s actually talking about. And elephant it is. Massive increase in the number of codes to report, additional digits in each code, super bill migration, etc. creates a rather dire picture of things to come.
ICD-10 has come with a fair share of complexities and these complexities are perhaps what’s behind the challenges doctors are facing as they race to comply by the October 1, 2015 deadline.
