ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting – FY 2023

Course Description

ICD-10-CM for 2023 is bringing almost 1,500 changes for coding in all specialties. Each year the CDC reviews and makes changes to the ICD-10-CM manual that applies to claims with dates of service beginning on October 1st. There is no grace period for these changes and claims with invalid codes will be rejected or denied. It is important that all staff and providers become aware of the changes so that any new, revised, or deleted codes used by the provider can correctly submit claims with dates of service after October 1st. With so many changes for 2023, it is critical that all members of the physician’s staff are knowledgeable of the changes and can apply them correctly in their practice to avoid claims denials that slow down the claims processing and payment process. No one wants to have to spend extra time correcting claims because the inappropriate ICD-10-CM code(s) was used. Also, software programs involving medical records (EHR) and Practice Management Systems (PMS) will need to be updated along with encounter forms/superbills.
