“If you prepare, you will succeed.” Nancy Maguire

ICD-10-CM for Diagnosis coding will be implemented on October 1, 2013, a mere 587 days away from February 22, 2012! But, as Nancy Maguire says, “Coding is a career-long learning process and if you prepare for ICD-10, you will succeed.”

Join us for this practical 90-minute audio conference where Coding expert Nancy Maguire will get you and your team started by introducing you to the basics of this new coding language thus beginning the foundation blocks of ICD-10-CM.

As you know, This transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10-CM is mandated. There are new symbols and conventions that you and your coding team will need to know. This presentation will be a
critical discussion of the coding, rather than just a summary. To help you grasp the concept of the new coding system, Nancy will provide detail and each new convention will be accompanied by a clinical example of usage.

There is no doubt that this transition will take hard work and persistence but by taking small steps over the next 587 days, your goal of compliance and understanding will be met.

This is a conference not only for the coding and billing and management staff, this conference also will get your physicians and other clinicians “up-to-speed” on the nuances of ICD-10-CM.

At the close of this conference you will have information on:

The major changes from ICD-9 to ICD-10-CM;
Why prevention is better (at this time) than damage control (later);
Precise topics discussed include: placeholders, extenders, chapter blocks, excludes notes... and much more;
Identify your goals and timelines to produces your roadmap to compliance;
