There are a lot of transitions in healthcare right now. Reform, technology and of course, the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 rank in the top things distracting healthcare organizations these days.
We found this interesting information on Healthcare Payer News in their article, “ICD-10 revenue neutrality: 9 ways to protect your cash flow.” These distractions can affect cash flow. Though the ICD-10 transition offers a refinement to the financial reimbursement models, implementing five times the number of code sets is a fundamental challenge. If not done properly, it can cost massive amounts of money.
