Magic of Tackling  ICD-10-CM

There have been so many changes from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM. The thought or idea of trying to learn all of them is crazy!  The most efficient way to learn all of this overwhelming information is to only focus on what you need to know right now. How do I make that happen you may ask? Well if you are an office manager, coder, biller and have a way to access the reports that have the codes your office is now using, you have tapped into the magic of tackling ICD-10-CM.  Create a crosswalk from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM.  I know some of you are saying our system already does that!...Great but does you system indicate how the code has changed, I'm going to answer that for you ....NO!  Customize your codes to fit your practices needs yourself, and you have found the magic!
