Physicians have one year to comply with implementation of the ICD-10 code set. Get ready with new coding cards from the AMA Store.
ICD-10-CM 2015 Snapshot Coding Cards: Multiple Specialties provide the most commonly reported diagnostic codes and associated guidelines for a specialty, including the specificity required to improve documentation. These reference cards include:
- Guidelines and tips to make coding more accurate and complete
- An alphabetical layout to quickly locate the code that accurately reflects a patient’s condition
- Tailor-made content for a particular specialty
- Portability—the cards fit into the codebook
For hospital inpatient settings, the ICD-10-PCS 2015 Snapshot Coding Card Collection includes a collection of cards to help build understanding around how to build an inpatient procedural code.
While the AMA continues to raise physicians’ significant concerns regarding implementation of the ICD-10 code set with federal policymakers, practice management experts advise physicians to start preparing for implementation now.
