ICD-10 Code Breaking: Understanding ICD-10: A Last Minute Guide to ICD-10 for Coders, Non-Coders, and Clinical Teams

by Christopher Draven

ICD-10 came in like a wrecking ball, only it did very little wrecking. As the authors of 'ICD-10 Code Understanding ICD-10' predicted, the implementation of ICD-10 did not cause mass panic in the streets. A few "set in their way" medical professionals (mostly doctors to tell the truth) had a few extra lines of documentation to write out, and the medical coding community had some additional research to complete - but all in all things went smoothly. However, if you're still new to ICD-10, it can be a bit daunting. Sorting through the myths and truths of ICD-10 can be harrowing. Fortunately this book is written by an ICD-10 Certified Trainer who has experience teaching groups from large payers and small provider offices on the nuances of ICD-10, and what to expect when working in this new code set. This book is full of information that will help you better understand the history of ICD-10, what the implementation meant, and how to get hold of resources to fill in the gaps. This book is the first in a series of Health Care Literacy books from Hyde Park Publishing. While the ICD-10 implementation is only a few short weeks away, the impact of the code set will take years to fully understand.

About the author

Christopher Draven writes a series of supernatural thrillers based on the one and only Jonathan Harker. In past lives, Christopher worked as an instructional designer, newspaper journalist, and ghost writer.

One soggy Monday morning, he left the soul-stealing work of corporate puppetry and has focused on forgetting everything he learned in technical writing.

Christopher lives in Kansas City, MO and did the cliché act of setting his books where he lived.

Hunted: A Jonathan Harker Novel is Christopher’s debut novel, and his best friend says it is swell.
