ICD-10 Implementation for Providers seminar
Just attended this seminar, first day only -- dealing with diagnosis coding. I took sticky notepad, highlighter & pens. I received an excellent spiral bound workbook of the coding guidelines and some exercises, as well as a draft copy of the ICD-10-CM manual. Since we have several coders here, I didn't want to write in the workbook, so the sticky notes came in handy! If you are at all anxious about this major change, the exercises will help you put it in perspective -- after all, coders deal with changes every year! Another good idea the presenter mentioned: take a few of your reports each month, & recode them using ICD-10, and you'll have an idea of the time & effort involved plus you'll be getting used to the system. Good Luck all!
