Rockville, MD (PRWEB) August 26, 2012
Effective November 5, 2012, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) adopts a change to the compliance date for the ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS medical data code sets from October 1, 2013 to October 1, 2014.
Physicians, coders, office managers, consultants, and others have been tasked with developing a roadmap for ICD-10 integration within their organizations, and many dont know where to begin. Contexo University has developed eLearning courses that makes preparation and study of the ICD-10 guidelines easy, and allows medical professionals to assess their readiness for ICD-10 implementation.
The complexity of ICD-10 will challenge existing coding and documentation norms within the healthcare industry, says Bradden Blair, Dean of Education for Contexo University. He adds, While many are concerned about being adequately prepared for ICD-10 implementation, few objective assessment tools have been developed to accurately measure ICD-10 readiness. Weve gone to great lengths to make sure our products meet the diverse needs of the coding/billing market and expect this product to greatly simplify the planning and training process for our customers.
