CMS Updates ICD-10 with Specialty Support
With the release of ICD-10 revisions slated for Oct. 1, 2016, CMS continues to add information and insight to the changes under its Provider Resources page. Links, forums, and outlines from CMS are compiled here for providers devoted to making the revisions’ transition painless.
On May 25, CMS introduced its Clinical Concepts Series. Focusing on particular medical specialties, the links offer specific guidance from CMS about the ICD-10 changes in a certain area.
The specialties included in the series are:
The Clinical Concepts Series covers the differences between ICD-9 and ICD-10, clinical documentation strategies in light of the revisions, “clinical scenarios, and links to interactive cases studies, in-depth webinars, and other Road to 10 features.”
