One Year Away: Time For ICD-10 Test Flights
11/15/2013
Orville Wright designed, built, and tested the world’s first aircraft engine in six weeks. No manufacturers were willing to build Wright’s engine, so he built it himself. Four cylinders, 12 horses, and 200 pounds later, he placed the new engine into Flyer, the world’s first biplane. The rest is history. Likewise, the healthcare industry is fast approaching one of its greatest milestones — the transition to the ICD-10 code set. The move to ICD-10 signifies the largest financial system change since establishment of the Prospective Payment System (PPS) in 1983.
