Are You Prepared for ICD-10? Get the answers you need at ICD-10 classes offered to AMCNO members at a discounted rate

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced earlier this year that it would replace the ICD-9 system with ICD-10 and that adoption of ICD-10 will be mandatory by Oct. 1, 2013. Along with the necessary steps to accommodate the conversion to ICD-10, a new 5010 security standard is set to begin Jan. 1, 2012. Although the timeframe is still three years out, it is time for physicians and their staff to start thinking about transitioning to these new codes. ICD-10 will include hundreds of new code sets so physician practices will be required to learn a new system. The AMCNO offers discounted classes at Tri-C on coding and practice management issues. We have been working with Tri-C to begin offering classes to help prepare physician practices for the upcoming ICD-10 changes. In October, two classes on ICD-10 are available to AMCNO members at discounted rates. To view upcoming classes available to AMCNO members at a discounted rate click here
