I do narrative ICD-9 coding in the lab where I work. I was thinking I had 2 years to prepare for ICD10's. Today my manager told me they are starting 5010's in our dept next year (2012). So I kind of freaked out as I was going to do the AAPC Anatomy and Physiology course and brush up and also the bootcamp. Now instead of 2 years I have 2 or 3 months? Anyone out there know what it is? I have no idea..... Thanks!
 
the 5010 is the new electronic transaction for claim submission, it is mandatory compliance on Jan 1 2012. ICD-10 CM is still set for Oct 1 2013.
 
Thanks for the info; so that means ICD-10 will start being used at that time? I guess I only have 2 months to get ready, wow.
 
5010 starts in January 2012. Unless you have something to do with programming you have nothing to worry about. ICD 10 starts Oct 2013
