Ask again later | ICD-10 Trainer
Ever play with a Magic 8 Ball? (If not, there’s an app for that.) Ask it a question, shake it up, and get an answer. Usually something vague (and vaguely ominous) like, “Reply hazy try again.”
Asking whether ICD-10 will indeed (finally) be implemented October 1, 2015, feels a little like asking a Magic 8 Ball.
CadusiusThe AMA is continuing its efforts to kill ICD-10 outright (at the same time it is trying to make money on training for ICD-10). In an address to the AMA’s House of Delegates November 9, Robert M. Wah, MD, president of the American Medical Society, once again showed how little physicians (at least those in leadership positions at physician societies) understand ICD-10.
In his remarks, Wah hyped the increased number of codes as a reason not to go to ICD-10. Sue Bowman, RHIA, CCS, senior director of coding policy and compliance for AHIMA in Chicago, has pretty much blown that complaint out of the water.
