Practice Management

With less than a year until the October 1, 2015, implementation date for ICD-10, physicians should be evaluating the readiness of their practices to transition to the new code set. The one-year delay in implementation came as a welcome reprieve for many physician practices that were struggling to meet the October 2014 deadline. The extent to which physician practices made positive use of the delay remains to be seen.



ICD-10 (The International Classification of Disease tenth revision) is a system of coding created in 1992 as the successor to the previous ICD-9 code set. ICD-10 will include new procedures and diagnoses, which the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services hopes will improve the quality of information available for quality improvement and payment purposes.
