My employment just doesn't think ICD10 is all that important. Recetly, the physician coders have recently been put under the Hospital Coders. We are 2 diffferent worlds. With the combining of the 2 departments, the BUDGET has been cut. Now, my boss feels it is only necessary to send 1 coder to an seminar or conference. Although all coders need the training and the CEUS, my boss feels it is only important for one person to go and relay the news. I CAN'T STAND that reasoning. When I asked my boss about it and told her how important it was for me to be there and listen, she states, " There just isn't enough money in the budget,"
Now, I just can't afford to pay to go to these seminars myself. I can hardly pay all my bills let alone send myself to a seminar.
Is it me or is my organization just thinking... " Oh well they will figure it out. " We have done ABSOLUTELY no training for ICD10. YET, our hospital is getting ready to update our billing sofftware. They have spent over a year sending people out of state to get training on how to do this. They are spending 100,000 thousands of dollars on " FIXING THE REVENUE CYCLE." yet they can't afford to send me to a $209.00 seminar.
I feel like maybe I should look for a new job, but yet I am not ready to leave here... I am stuck between a rock and a hard place.
