Are you ready for ICD-10 implementation?

Implementation of ICD-10 has been postponed until Oct. 1, 2015, and all claims submitted after that point must use the new coding system. The biggest change from ICD-9 is the level of detail the new coding system requires. Case managers need to understand basic concepts of ICD-10 and the specificity it requires. They need to work with physicians to make sure that all documentation is complete and detailed.
