CMS released updated ICD-10 Implementation Guides for various-sized healthcare practices.
The guides are specific to small and medium practice providers, large practice providers, small hospitals and payors. They provide step-by-step instructions for transitioning to the updated coding set.
The guides also inform practices and payors of ICD-10's importance, and they break the process down into phases — planning, communication, assessment, implementation, testing and transition.
