ICD-10 Training and Implementation
Vision Infonet Inc, the parent company of CodersClub.com, is well-experienced and well-equipped to take up the challenge of ICD-10 training and implementation.
ICD-10 Transition and compliance can bring opportunities as well as challenges. It is time-consuming, expensive, interesting, and certainly complex. Transition will require significant changes in processes and technology. Our team with healthcare domain expertise provides the implementation support solutions and resources that physician practice, hospitals, and payers need to prepare for the smooth transition.
“ICD-10 codes must be used on all HIPAA transactions, including outpatient claims with dates of service, and inpatient claims with dates of discharge on and after October 1, 2013. Otherwise, your claims and other transactions may be rejected, and you will need to resubmit them with the ICD-10 codes.” –www.cms.gov
And we are:
01.10.2013 00:00
129
Days
away from the ICD-10 implementation date.
Now the question is, "when is the right time to get trained and certified for ICD-10?"
We strongly believe that it is very early to get trained. As the deadline for implementation is more than 3 years away, this subject knowledge might fade when you actually need it. Probably need training again!!!
We advise our members to think twice before taking a decision. It is not only your money but also your valuable time that matters!!
