AHIMA has issued a guide on how to prepare for upcoming ICD-10 implementation updates that could assist agencies to boost claims reimbursement.
Just as most healthcare stakeholders reported that ICD-10 implementation ran smoother than expected, CMS will be issuing the 5,500 new codes beginning in October. While it may sound like a large update to the system, the new codes could help contributors submit more specific claims and boost their reimbursements.
To help agencies prepare for the updates, the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) has released a guide on how to implement upcoming ICD-10 updates.
As the CMS freeze on the addition of new codes thaws, AHIMA reassures providers that ICD-10 implementation for the updates could be convenient than the initial transition.
