The Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange released a whitepaper on ICD-10 testing for small physician practices, according to an EHR Intelligence report. Here are three ways testing prior to ICD-10 implementation can reduce risk for these practices.
• Testing will minimize the chance of claim denials and claims delays related to coding errors.
• Testing will minimize cash flow disruption.
• Testing will ensure electronic health records and other software applications are prepared to produce ICD-10 claims.
