Poll of the Week – Have You Started Preparing for ICD-10?

Article

Though CMS just delayed the ICD-10 implementation date; physicians should start preparing for the switch now. Are you?

In a recent Practice Notes blog, Jackie Stack, an ICD-10 specialist for the AAPC , wrote about the CMS announcement that ICD-10 implementation will be delayed until October 1, 2014.

Stack went on to provide some great preparation tips.
