ANSWER
17. Chiropractic Coding - ICD-10 Codes?
I am a recent recipient of my coding certification (July) and
have recently began working for a chiropractic office. I was
hoping there would be some insight on whether the ICD-10
codes will still be the same for these areas. Has anyone
heard anything? Thanks!
ANSWER
18. ICD-10 Practice Question
