Education Can Be Time Consuming With ICD-10


by Allen Longeart


Many people today think that they have no power when it comes to medical billing. In fact, the power is there when it comes to overcoming new terms. There is a new beginning when people see that it's not working correctly. Many people that are in the medical billing industry are finding that going back to school matters the most. Learning the new ICD-10 takes time, discipline and careful training. Many medical billing companies are unique in the sense that they are doing coding correctly. They have been preparing for ICD-10 for over 2 years many times. Many companies in New York and New Jersey are hurting because there are not enough coders around to fulfill all of the jobs.

Coding today is a lot more complex. The new ICD-10 got released on October 1, 2015. To everyone's surprise, there is much more that you must learn. You need to learn 5 times as many codes than you did before. Under ICD-9, there were around 14,000 codes and now there are over 69,000. That is a lot of information to learn quickly. It will take years to master the new codes.

What makes ICD-10 difficult is all of the problems that you have to be involved in along the way. For starters, the 69,000 codes are a lot longer. They require more attention to detail. Most doctors today would rather have a medical biller that understands how to code more than anything else. If it were up to me, I would rather have someone with years of experience than a college degree.

Many doctors today are leaving their practices and turning to much larger hospitals for employment. They are seeing their life as being bombarded by kick backed claims. They are finding it harder and harder to pay their nurses and medical staff. The main reason for this is because they don't know how much money they are going to receive from the insurance company. They also don't know when it will arrive. Many overseas medical companies are saying that they are having to wait 90 days for a check from the insurance company and often it is not what was requested. Is this the new beginning of a healthcare system that the world has never seen before? In my opinion, it is a new beginning and most people are afraid of what is happening in the world that we live in.

Whether we like it or not, ICD-9 is over with. We can no longer think about the past and how easy it was to get doctors and healthcare providers money back from the insurance companies. Today, medical coding requires a great attention to detail. It allows people to look at pain in new ways. You must describe every detail about the patient. Let the insurance companies know how the patient is progressing healing as well. Can you collect on claims today? You most certainly can and with great detail. Don't worry so much if you don't understand medical billing completely. At times, you must look at yourself and sense a unique understanding and power of the way that things out to be in life. Things change with time and circumstances. At the end of the day, everything matters.
