Hello HIM Students! After all of the crazy ICD-10 news that I reported to you last month, we now have new information from CMS. Please read the article below.

And for one more look on the topic:

All of this means that we won't be
making any changes to our coding courses at COSC. In HIM 210 you will
learn about ICD-9 as a system that is retiring, and you will learn how to code
with ICD-10. This will put all of you in a great position as you graduate
with ICD-10 coding skills.
