Hi, everyone, I wanted to ask each of you which ICD-10-CM code you've identified within your own specialties that you're most excited to begin using....because it's such an improvement on ICD-9-CM, or because it has such an impact from either a medical necessity or revenue perspective. I'm doing a short presentation for our revenue folks, and wanted to get some feedback from other coders in the industry. I'd prefer not to hear any of the V-Y codes, please; those are entertaining, but not what I wanted to showcase. For me, it's the use of Z23; Immunization, and no longer having to provide the V code for "Need for immunization" by type. It makes it so much easier for our clinical staff. Thanks for your feedback.
