• Description
• This webinar will detail
  coding guidelines and conventions related to code
  assignment for injuries. The International
  Classification of Diseases is a healthcare
  nomenclature used to assign numerical codes to
  descriptions of diagnoses, conditions and
  administrative circumstances for which
  individuals seek medical care or evaluation.
  Currently, the ninth revision, clinical
  modification or ICD-9-CM is used in the United
  States. However, ICD-10-CM/PCS implementation is
  currently set for a 10-1-2015 compliance date.
  From this webinar not only will participants
  learn about the intricacies of ICD-10, the
  differences and similarities between ICD-9 and
  ICD-10 but also strategies to assist with
  compliance will be covered. Additionally, a few
  scenarios will be presented along with the proper
  code assignment for ICD-10-CM.
