ICD-10 is a test you can't cram for. By October 1, 2013, you must code all your diagnoses with ICD-10-CM and all your inpatient procedures with ICD-10-PCS. And the scope of ICD-10 is so broad, preparation will take years, not months.
Providers who outsource their entire coding operation to Aviacode will benefit from our coder and system preparation. Think of it: no coders to train, no coding systems to upgrade. Just instant ICD-10 coding readiness.
Providers who use Aviacode to supplement their coding operations will benefit as well, having access to expert coders who know ICD-10.
Whether you outsource your coding completely to Aviacode or use us to help with your backlog, we encourage you to engage us long before the conversion deadline. Other providers will be scrambling to prepare. The sooner you begin working with us, the less likely you'll be to suffer from coding productivity declines.
Use Aviacode, and ICD-10 readiness comes built in.
Aviacode can help with other aspects of your ICD-10 preparation.
Now, coding isn't your only ICD-10 concern. There are other aspects that you'll need to prepare for: documentation improvement, form changes, quality reporting, chargemaster updates, etc. And there are non-coding technologies that need upgrading, as well. Our coding and technology experts know what it takes to get prepared, so you can trust us to help you.
NOTES
We can help you get started. Get it in ICD-9 and 10 at the same time. Do both at the same time.
