Health Care Compliance Strategies, Inc., (HCCS), the leading provider of online healthcare compliance and competency training courses, today announced their new “READY WHEN YOU ARE!” ICD-10 online training program. This new program allows facilities to purchase expert, up to date ICD-10 online training today with the knowledge that the courses selected will be accessible and kept up to date through the now official October 1, 2014 implementation deadline at no additional fee.
The program allows facilities to purchase online ICD-10 training now and rollout the training to each learner when it makes sense for their specific needs. In this manner, facilities maintain complete flexibility and control in the delivery and scheduling of training to their physicians, coders, administrators and other staff.
“Training staff for ICD-10 is complex and can take much longer than most facilities realize,” says Ben Diamond, President of HCCS. “This program gives organizations the opportunity to get a head start on the training and allows staff the time needed to learn the new system to protect proper reimbursements.”
HHS has announced October 1, 2014 as the final implementation date for the conversion to the new ICD-10 coding set. On that date, healthcare professionals and staff across the country will be required to submit claims using the new coding system. To meet this deadline, staff need to understand the switch to this new complex coding system and be trained in how to properly use the new codes. Failure to do so can result in reduced, delayed or denied reimbursements that will impact the bottom line financial results.
