We all know by now that ICD-10 is a more detailed and accurate coding system than the ICD-9. It has been in use throughout Europe since 1994 and in Canada since 2000. Beginning on Oct. 1, 2015, The US Department of Health and Human Services has mandated that ICD-9-CM be replaced by ICD-10-CM.
It is essential for administrators and professional staff to participate in ICD-10 training. Medical coders and medical billers must use this new coding when reporting diagnoses and procedures. Individuals and organizations must become proficient before the imminent implementation.
AAPC Boot camp style ICD-10 training is available throughout the United States until Dec, 2015.
