ICD-10 is a radically upgraded diagnostic and procedural medical coding system, and will soon be mandated by the Federal government for use in the healthcare industry in insurance processing, reimbursement, and statistical data gathering. Preparing for and implementing the massive changes to the existing coding system requires that the healthcare industry start preparing for the impacts now. This new program will present a comprehensive overview of the significant changes in store for both diagnostic and procedural coding along with detailed information on the impacts of the coding changes to medical coders, healthcare staff, physicians, software systems, documentation, and information technology.
This program includes:
- Comprehensive overview of the objectives, edits, and changes within the soon-to-be released International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition (ICD-10).
- Methodology and Template for planning HIM and non-HIM staff, physician, and allied health personnel education.
- Explanation of requirements for upgrading existing software applications, including claims editors, billing and claims, and electronic data interchange clearinghouses.
