ICD-10 Implementation
Did you know that a study published by the AMA estimated that it will cost approximately $80,000 per physician to implement ICD-10 in 2014? As the owner of a practice, I find that number totally unacceptable. I have been researching the new system as well as how to successfully implement it in our practice. There are several things you can do now to ease the transition into ICD-10.
Through my study the key that I’ve found seems to be time and preparation. It will take about 6 months of planning, training, education, working with vendors, computers, and staff in order to easily transition into ICD-10. To help you with this process we are offering a one-day only ICD-10 implementation training seminar in Dallas on Saturday February 22, 2014.
Note that this seminar is not really designed for doctors. It is not about coding (does not feature ACCME accreditation). It is designed for practice managers or owners. Actually, if you are the practice owner (especially if you are a doctor also) you need to pick a person in your practice that will be in charge of ICD-10 implementation. And it should not be you! I am a doctor and know how busy we get and how easy it is to put things off until much too late. Delegate a responsible person in your practice to be in charge of implementation and get them registered for this conference as soon as possible. (Of course you are encouraged to attend as well, but you must promise not to get in their way).
We will spend all day on that Saturday devising a concrete plan and timeline for ICD-10 implementation in your practice. Of course it will include how and when to train the staff in the specifics of the ICD-10 coding system, but that is actually one of the last things that will be done by your implementation person. They will leave with a six-month timeline and specific information of how, when, and why to do the many things involved. Just a few of these things include:
- ICD-10 nomenclature and terminology
- ICD-9 differences and General Equivalency Mappings
- Superbill conversion and billing issues
- Training timeline and staff issues
- Budgeting (time, money, and staff)
- Information Technology and EMRs
- Clinical Impact, Coding, and Documentation
- Medical Contracts
- Testing, testing, and more testing!
Of course, like all our products, there is a no-risk money-back guarantee. If for any reason you are unsatisfied simply request a refund and it will be provided no-questions asked. If you are unable to attend the live seminar you can order the entire workshop including the audio, video, and workbook materials. This will be shipping by March 1, 2014. But I urge you to order soon! Successful implementation should take you about 6 months.
