The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) has been used in the United States for over 30 years and is extremely limited in the level of specificity it can provide in clinical diagnoses within health care. ICD-10 is an upgraded diagnostic and procedural medical coding system that, by law, must be implemented throughout the healthcare industry by October 1, 2013. ICD-10 coding will allow for a greater level of detail with its seven alphanumeric characters instead of the 5-digit ICD-9 code set, going from about 17,000 codes to approximately 140,000. We are now offering ICD-10 Training to instruct individuals in the mandatory changes so they can be prepared for the implementation process.
