ICD-10 consulting

Addressing your transition and implementation needs for ICD-10

One of the many anticipated health care reform initiatives is the national health care system's transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 coding sets for diagnosis and inpatient procedure coding. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has initiated this significant change to improve patient care, patient care reporting, diagnosis, billing and reimbursement, while also supporting the reduction of health care costs.
