ICD-10: Building a Financial Reserve for Your Medical Practice
ICD-10: Building a Financial Reserve for Your Medical Practice is a great article outlining the financial strain that providers can expect to see in October…
Excerpt:
“The implementation of ICD-10 this October, which will expand the current 13,000 ICD-9 diagnosis codes to 68,000, will bring similar problems. We are already seeing warnings. In December 2013 the New York Times published the article, “Roughed Up by an Orca? There’s a Code, For That,” which discussed the potential issues that the ICD-10 rollout may bring, and the American Medical Association placed ICD-10 on its list of the top five issues plaguing physicians in 2014.
