Have you started planning for ICD-10 yet?  

The adoption of ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS in 2013 is going to be a major undertaking for facilities nationwide.  This will not just impact coding professionals but will have far-reaching implications for the entire facility.  Join us for a one hour presentation on Preparation for ICD-10:  What every facility needs to know NOW to start getting ready.  We will discuss timelines, planning, budgets and training needs for your employees.  

Who should attend? 

This is not a coding course, but rather designed for management level personnel who will be responsible for working on their ICD-10 Transition Team. HIM Directors, Coding Managers and Finance/Administration are the primary audience for this session.

A CE certificate will be provided for one hour of credit. 

Registration Fee:  $15.00


DocuVoice is sponsoring the speaker for this session.
