If you don’t correctly incorporate each of the new, modified, and deleted ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes for 2023, get ready for denied claims, delayed payments, and one huge headache. The updates impact nearly every specialty, covering injuries, diseases, and even external causes of injury. But you don’t have to go through this changeover alone…
This is where expert coder and educator Kim Huey, MJ, CHC, CPC, CCS-P, PCS, CPCO, COC can help. During her 60-minute online training session, she will walk you through the ICD-10-CM diagnoses code changes for 2023 that will have the most impact on your practice next year. This training will help you ensure your transition to these new codes goes off without a hitch.

- Navigate new brain injury, concussion, and contusion codes (S06.- series)

Ensuring you incorporate the new ICD-10-CM diagnosis code updates for 2023 correctly is more important than ever before. In the last few years, CMS has gone on a rampage to recoup reimbursements that they feel they’ve paid in error (equaling $25.03 BILLION for Medicare fee-for-services claims). And diagnosis coding errors can get you targeted and land you in serious financial and legal trouble unless you’re prepared.
