CMA updates ICD-10 transition guide



With less than three months until the transition to ICD-10, will your practice be ready on October 1, 2015?

To help physicians prepare for the transition, the California Medical Association (CMA) has updated its “ICD-10 Transition Guide,” which includes an ICD-10 transition preparation checklist. New information includes: new table indicating code categories that are expanded as well as those that are reduced under ICD-10; information on how payors will handle prior authorizations around the transition date; listing and links to CMA’s live ICD-10 training courses; information on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ “grace period”; and a visual of the anatomy of ICD-10 code structure, among other changes.
