ICD-10 Support

 

The Health Information Management industry went through some major changes in October 2015 as we shifted from ICD-9 to ICD-10. This was a government mandated change to the coding classification system. The old system, ICD-9 which had about 17,000 codes was replaced by ICD-10 which has about 155,000 codes.

 

Most hospitals experienced a smooth transition as this change has been years in the making however not all small hospitals had the same experience. If healthcare practices fail to adhere to ICD-10, claims can and will be denied and therefore result in loss of revenue for facilities. It is crucial that facilities partner with an expert like Intero to successfully transition into this new government mandated change.
