Countdown to ICD-10 Has Begun

Are You Ready?

ICD-10 Seminar

Program Overview

ICD-10-CM will change everything about how we assign diagnosis codes. This seminar will provide the foundation, critical knowledge, and skill-set for you to be successful in the new ICD-10 environment. This seminar will focus on the new ICD-10-CM code structure for inpatient and outpatient services, the differences, and the benefits to transitioning to ICD-10. We will review the Official Coding Guidelines and Conventions- focusing on the major changes.

PCS (Procedure Classification System) will replace Volume 3 for inpatient coding. This system completely changes the way coders assign codes for Inpatient Procedure Codes. This seminar will review some of the major changes, such as code structure, the Alphabetic Index, the Tables, and Review of the Root Operations; which are critical elements for successful ICD-10-PCS coding.
