The ICD-10 conversion date is approaching…are you ready for October?
Who is affected? ICD-10 will affect diagnosis and inpatient procedure coding for everyone covered by the Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act (HIPAA), not just those who submit Medicare or Medicaid claims.
Replacing the outdated ICD-9 coding system is daunting, but necessary. Don’t miss this featured session on May 2 to find out if you are ready.
