The upcoming transition to ICD 10 will be the most significant change to family planning coding in over 20 years. The current diagnosis code set includes more than 9,000 codes. The updated ICD 10 list exceeds 150,000 code options. This transition will affect not only providers but billing and EMR systems, contract negotiations, and even front desk staff.

  • Understand the why, when, and how of the impending transition to ICD 10.
  • Identify areas throughout the organization which will be affected by this code update and begin the important planning process to ensure readiness.
  • Understand the need for a well developed and carefully implemented training plan across the entirety of the organization.
