ICD-10 Transition

The transition to ICD-10 takes place on October 1, 2013. Now is the time to begin preparing. ICD-10 will affect coding for everyone covered by Medicare, as well as everyone covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

Whether you are involved in the transition or will benefit from the improved data provided by the new coding structure, this page offers tools, resources, and information suggested by your NAHQ colleagues.
