You’ve probably noticed our new name, Home Health ICD-9/ICD-10 Alert. We’ve changed our name, but not our mission. We’re here to help your diagnosis coding challenges, whether you’re working in ICD-9 or preparing for ICD-10. Each month, we’ll include articles that will help you make sure you’re on track for the changes ahead as well as give you practical information about how to code common diagnoses in both code sets. We’ll continue to increase our ICD-10 coverage as Oct. 1, 2014 draws nearer.
