Change is Coming! On October 1, 2015, the ICD-9 code sets used to report medical diagnoses and inpatient procedures will be replaced by ICD-10. To be in compliance, all HIPAA-covered entities must use ICD- 10 codes for health care services provided on or after October. To avoid denied claims and disruptions in cash flow, it is absolutely critical that providers develop a plan for transitioning to the new coding system.

Healthcare leaders across the country have already begun assessing the impact of this change on their organizations and are working with payers, billing service, clearinghouse and software vendors to develop and implement an ICD-10 transition plan. This program targets coders, billers, MDS coordinators, therapist, nursing and other players to offer an overview of the changes and key points to be aware of. It is designed to provide keys to unlocking the secrets of ICD-10-CM (for diagnosis coding). Topics for discussion include transition information, coding guidelines and conventions and how to use the resource books. In addition, you will learn how the transition to the new ICD-10 codes will affect the MDS, the business office and billing practices as well as how to get all parties working together, and in one accord, with regards to codes, sequencing and required clinical documentation improvements.

If you’re looking to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to understand and efficiently transition to ICD-10-CM codes for clinical and billing practices, as well as develop strategies for operationalizing the process, this program is a must for you and your staff.
