“ICD-10 isn’t a compliance issue like Meaningful Use or PQRS by which you receive a penalty if you don’t comply; instead, it is a matter of business and revenue,” said Michael Sherling, MD, co-founder and CMO of Modernizing Medicine. “With ICD-10, there is a massive increase in medical and diagnostic codes from 13,000 to over 140,000. If you don’t have the right billing codes, you simply won’t get paid.”
