The Colorado ICD-10 Training Coalition has launched a new website -  www.cms.org/icd-10 - where you will find resources to help you navigate ICD-10 requirements and tailor an implementation plan to fit your practice's needs.

 

Information on upcoming Coalition programs will be available on the website as well as events held by other Coalition members. Coming up:

• RT Welter and Associates free seminars
• Complete Practice Resources seminars

Implementing ICD-10 in your practice will impact nearly everyone from the front desk, to the clinical staff and physicians, on through the coding, billing and reporting personnel. 

  

Now that you and your staff have a better understanding of what ICD-10 is all about, take the next step down the path, get out your whiteboard and sticky notes and sign up for the free Coalition webinar on Tuesday, April 16, 2013, 12-1 PM MDT.
