Did you know that CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) has many resources available to assist your facility with preparing for the coding changes for the upcoming ICD-10 compliance date?
NextGen Hospital Solutions recommends www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/ICD10/index.html which delivers a wealth of information and resources that provide administrators “guidance around the transition to ICD-10.” (http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/ICD10/index.html)
If you would like more in-depth information for submitting the correct ICD-10 codes to Medicare, please access the MLN Matters Newsflash, released from CMS. You can access the document by clicking http://www.cms.gov/Outreach-and-Education/Medicare-Learning-Network-MLN/MLNMattersArticles/Downloads/SE1518.pdf
