ICD-11: Hear the Latest Industry Buzz

There is a lot of buzz out in the industry about ICD-11, especially since the World Health Organization (WHO) released the new code set in June as first reported by ICD10monitor and Talk Ten Tuesday. Nevertheless, ICD-11 is a trending topic—a topic we will explore during this edition of Talk Ten Tuesdays. That’s when nationally recognized coding authority Rhonda Buckholtz will report on the need to make sure all of the coding options have been refined in ICD-10-CM in order to make coding more productive in ICD-11.

Other segments to be featured on the broadcast include:
