ICD-10: Leading the way......

Questions, questions, some answers, but more questions as I reflect on the 2010 ICD-10 AHIMA Summit that I attended earlier this week. One of the big questions is are YOU ready for this big change in healthcare and have you started to PREPARE? ICD-10 will affect all aspects in healthcare (payers, providers, vendors, clearinghouses, third party administrators, independent laboratories, employers, and researchers) to name a few. 

It’s not just about codes, but knowing your systems and taking inventory, understanding the impact to your organization, and knowing the cost for transition. The date October 1, 2013 is a firm date for implementation. This is not a time to be competitive but to work collaboratively.
