I am in the process of getting our office ready for the transition to ICD-10.
I notice on the AAPC's website there is an ICD-10 book available with the 2010 Official Code sets. I would like to purchase this book, but is there a chance that since they are 2010 code sets, the codes could possibly change before the October 2013 implementation date? Would I need to purchase another book with the current code sets before the implementation date, or will the 2010 code sets still be accurate? I wonder if I should wait until closer to implementation date to purchase ICD-10 books...
Thank you for your help!
