ICD-10 Code-Set Training

ICD-10 code-set training is now available! We are now offering introductory ICD-10 code-set training classes in conjunction with our ICD-10 Implementation Boot Camps. While comprehensive code-set training will begin in 2011, you can now get an early, hands-on experience with the new guidelines and code-set.

ICD-10 will grow from its current 17,000 codes to more than 141,000! Make sure that you’re ready.
