Now that ICD-10 has been rolled out, medical coding companies are feeling its effects. The Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) and its affiliates are having to recreate their processes in order to account for the vast increase in the number and variety of codes. What was once a simple system with a mere 13,000 codes is now far more complex with 68,000.
Companies like the Coding Network are forerunners in ICD-10 Readiness, already having switched our processes to get away from the soon-to-be defunct ICD-9. Whether it be a simple audit or a complicated coding project, TCN’s production rate has never been higher.
