ICD-10 Planning and Implementation


ICD-10 RESOURCES TO HELP WITH THE TRANSITION   

CMS Has Created “Road to 10” to Help You Jump Start the Transition to ICD-10

“Road to 10” is a no-cost tool that will help you to have a smoother transition to ICD-10. You are able to get an overview of ICD-10 by viewing helpful tools such as the Basics of ICD-10. There is also helpful information for you to learn about the differences of ICD-10 and ICD-9. The transition may seem daunting at times but, create a custom action plan, by filling out a quick assessment, and CMS will show you a custom timeline of your implementation process. This will give you a clear outline of what you should be working on and when you should be getting it done. Your action plan outline reflects the implementation date of October 1, 2015.
