ICD-10 is coming and practices MUST prepare and understand how ICD-10-CM works. ICD-10 is the biggest change in the healthcare industry in close to three decades! Due to the expanded ICD-10 code set, physicians will be responsible for providing greater specificity in their clinical documentation. There may be a 20% increase in the time required for physician documentation to produce the specificity required in ICD-10. We are going from 14,000 diagnoses codes to over 68,000! This presentation will help providers learn how the new code-set affects your office and how it must be implemented. The instructor will provide an in-depth review of the steps needed for practices to implement ICD-10 into their practice. If not accurately provided, your practice could face potential risks to reimbursement, compliance and the quality of patient care!
