HIM WEEKLY WEDNESDAY - ICD-10 NEWS AND UPDATES


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.
