ICD-10 less than two weeks away; are you ready? September 23, 2015 Managed Care Practice Resources, ICD-10, Webinars 0 With less than two weeks until the implementation of ICD-10, practices should be in the final stages of preparation and training for conversion to the new code set on October 1, 2015. The California Medical Association (CMA) has a number of resources to help members prepare. ICD-10 Transition Guide: This guide will help practices of all sizes successfully make the switch to the new ICD-10 coding system. It answers frequently asked questions and includes CMA’s ICD-10 Transition Preparation Checklist to help ensure the transition is a smooth one. The guide is FREE and available for members only. Specialty-Specific Training: CMA has partnered with AAPC to offer discounted specialty-specific documentation training for physicians (three-hour, online courses).
