Deadlines and Plans

November 27, 2012 / Melody Smith / Comments Off on Deadlines and Plans

If you look at the calendar and you rely on ICD coding, it is easy to see we are two years away from the much dreaded deadline for the ICD-10 implementation. Where are you in your plan for preparation and implementation?

This interesting and relevant topic was brought to our attention by Phys Biz Tech in their article, “It’s October: Where are you in your ICD-10 transition plans?” The complexity of the new coding system can be a challenge and prohibit progress.

Access Innovations, developer of the M.A.I. machine-assisted indexing system and specializing in complex coding, tagging, and indexing, provides a range of services that deliver tag integrity. Access Innovations provides training to a client’s staff and then offers quality assurance and validation services that can assist in minimizing the risk of a coding error and identify inappropriately applied tags.

Many widely used tagging systems lack a user-friendly interface and may not implement a rigorous ANSI compliant coding subsystem. Access Innovations’ solutions are ANSI compliant and implement state-of-the-art technology to speed tagging and reduce errors.
