Wiki ICD-10 Certification Question

[khagood222]

I apologize if someone has already asked this question but I have noticed that anyone who had their coding certification prior to the implementation of ICD-10 was also required to get a separate ICD-10 certification. Is that still the case with those taking their coding ceritification exam in 2016, since ICD-10 will be included on test?

No. As of Jan 1, the CPC test is based on ICD10, instead of ICD9 like in 2015, so no separate test is required.
