4 Myths About The ICD-10 Delay
The process of switching over to ICD-10 has caused a lot of stress in
healthcare circles even before many companies begin to make the
change. While the repeated delays in
the mandate to convert record-keeping
processes bring a relief to some, they also
cause more confusion. These delays have
generated a number of myths that need
to be dispelled so that coders and billers
can get on with the real work involved in
moving on to ICD-10.

ICD-10 Impact on Physician Profiles
The vote of the U.S. Congress to push back the deadline for ICD-10
implementation to, at least October 1, 2015 may have provided some
breathing room, but it doesn’t change the outcome. With all the
concerns that had been expressed regarding the
upcoming ICD-10 deadline and the ramifications of
its implementation, one aspect of the coding process
has not received much consideration.
That is the potential negative effects it could have on
physicians and other care providers who count on
a provider network for support and resources, not to
mention a wider client base. This was addressed in a
recent guest article on EMRandHIPAA.com

8 Major Advantages of Dictated

coupled with new technology streamlines
productivity, increasing patient satisfaction
while implementing and improving EHRs. We’ve outlined some major
advantages of dictated medical transcriptions in this article.
