Report: Health Care Organizations Vary in ICD-10 Readiness - iHealthBeat
Thursday, November 6, 2014
While a majority of health care organizations are on track to conduct end-to-end ICD-10 testing prior to the October 2015 compliance date, several smaller organizations appear to be struggling, according to a new report, Health Data Management reports (Slabodkin, Health Data Management, 11/5).
Background on ICD-10
U.S. health care organizations are working to transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 code sets to accommodate codes for new diseases and procedures. The switch means that health care providers and insurers will have to change out about 14,000 codes for about 69,000 codes.
