ICD-10 Coding Services

Very soon, medical coding in the United States will change drastically. The International Classification of Diseases 10th Edition, ICD-10 will be implemented. The new Coding system has nearly 5 times the codes compared to the old ICD-9 set making it more descriptive and more accurate describing the inpatient procedures and diagnoses. The transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 will definitely require a significant system change throughout the industry and will also have an impact on the healthcare facilities.

This said, ICD-10 is not just a coding conversion but a wave of activities that need to be taken care right from training, certification, software to delivery.
