Ready, Set, Go! ICD-10 Starts Now
By Lea Chatham | April 22, 2015
OK, no more excuses. With the passing of the new “doc fix” bill (without a delay to ICD-10 included) we are assured that the October 1, 2015 deadline is “on”.If you are one of the practices that has waited to see what would happen, it is time to get started. You can’t wait any longer. There are less than six months left and lots to do to be sure that your practice can make the transition effectively and prevent or reduce any loss in productivity or revenue.
This is the first in a series of posts recapping the steps to a successful transition. The upcoming posts will cover:
- Code mapping
- Documentation review and improvement
- Financial planning
- Training
- Testing
Watch for our next post on code mapping coming soon. Or visit the Kareo ICD-10 Resource Center for more tools.
