Have you been putting off thinking about the transition to ICD-10 diagnosis coding? Now you can kick start your ICD-10 conversion efforts by listening to podcasts from recent CMS calls on the new coding system. CMS has made available four separate podcasts about the system that takes effect in October 2013: "CMS ICD-10 Conversion Activities"; "Preparing for ICD-10 Implementation in 2011"; "Basic Introduction to ICD-10-CM"; and "ICD-10- CM/PCS Implementation and General Equivalence Mappings (Crosswalks)." The podcasts are available at
