CMS Adds New Items to ICD-10 Questions and Answers

We are all aware that we will be changing from ICD-9 to ICD-10 for coding.  CMS has a Question and Answer Page that includes many items related to ICD-10 (The link is listed below).  They have added three new items to the site this week and will continue to do so for the next year.  We encourage you to begin planning for ICD-10 implementation. 

We are very fortunate to have Lisa Selman-Holman, a leader in ICD-10 coding, presenting the topic “Are you ready for ICD-10” at our Home Health Leadership Conference  to be held on the “Big Island” in Hawaii September 23^rd to 25^th.  Just because you are not a coder does not mean you do not need to understand ICD-10.  Remember that ICD-10 will be a vital part of the payment mechanism for home health agencies.  This will be a very valuable presentation to the owners and administrators of home health agencies to help them get ready for ICD-10.

We hope to see you in Hawaii.
