Will the ICD-10 Delay Cost Providers More?
As we all know Senate voted to delay ICD-10 for a year, will the delay actually cost Providers more than if they had continued to prepare for the transition in October ’14? With most Providers already well into their ICD-10 preparations, does it actually cost more to stop and delay now, then continue preparing next year, or will the delay allow Providers to be better prepared financially in 2015?

When Should You Start Your Formal ICD-10 Training?
An intensive ICD-10-CM and PCS training program including book-based code selection and training on encoder usage is recommended for everyone involved in the ICD-10 transition. However, the question is when should you start your training program? Our Answer: Formal training needs to start now, but at the very least 6-9 months before the deadline of October 1st. By training for the 6-9 month period, most of the information learned will be retained once the new system goes live in October.
