ICD-10 Code Breaking: Understanding ICD-10: A Last Minute Guide to ICD-10 for Coders, Non-Coders, and Clinical Teams

ICD-10 came in like a wrecking ball, only it did very little wrecking.<br /><br />As the authors of 'ICD-10 Code Breaking: Understanding ICD-10' predicted, the implementation of ICD-10 did not cause mass panic in the streets. <br /><br />A few "set in their way" medical professionals (mostly doctors to tell the truth) had a few extra lines of documentation to write out, and the medical coding community had some additional research to complete - but all in all things went smoothly. <br /><br />However, if you're still new to ICD-10, it can be a bit daunting. Sorting through the myths and truths of ICD-10 can be harrowing. Fortunately this book is written by an ICD-10 Certified Trainer who has experience teaching groups from large payers and small provider offices on the nuances of ICD-10, and what to expect when working in this new code set. <br /><br /><br />This book is full of information that will help you better understand the history of ICD-10, what the implementation meant, and how to get hold of resources to fill in the gaps. <br /><br />This book is the first in a series of Health Care Literacy books from Hyde Park Publishing. While the ICD-10 implementation is only a few short weeks away, the impact of the code set will take years to fully understand.
