ICD-10 Preparation

In a recent study by KLAS, two-thirds of participants stated that they are engaging or are planning to engage a third party firm to help prepare for ICD-10. Is your organization planning to use a third party  firm to assist in the ICD-10 preparation process?

Most Providers Behind on ICD-10 Readiness

In their recent report, “ICD-10: Preparing for October 2013,” the research firm KLAS found that less than ten percent of providers have made it to the halfway mark in terms of their readiness for ICD-10.  While providers understand the implications ICD-10 can have on their revenue cycle, most organizations are still only in the planning phase of preparation.  Those organizations that have been proactive in their ICD-10 preparation say that “ICD-10 is a complex and costly initiative- one that will require significant time and resources.”

Bottom line: Start preparing for ICD-10 now so you don’t pay for it later.
