Diabetes Practice Options: How Practices Can Begin Preparing Now for the ICD-10 Transition

AAPC VP of ICD-10 education and training Rhonda Buckholtz, CPC, CPMA, CPC-I recently wrote about ICD-10 and what practices can do now to prepare for the coding changeover in Diabetes Practice Options.

“In the administrative realm, all vendor contracts will need to be scrutinized and updates may need to be made,” she wrote. “Practice managers should check the language on government mandates and whether or not those mandates are covered in maintenance agreements. Working with vendors early will be crucial to a practice’s success in implementing the new codes.”
