Put This ICD-10 Site In Your Training Toolbox
Published on Thu Jan 22, 2015
CMS continues to help providers prepare for the Oct. 1 transition date to ICD-10. One such effort is the creation of an online educational tool, “Road to 10.”
“Road to 10” provides access to an over-view of ICD-10, information about common codes, clinical scenarios, and more. You can even “Build Your Action Plan” on the site at www.roadto10.org
