Latest Coding Updates

ICD-10

ICD-10-CM is a seven-character, alphanumeric code. Each code begins with a letter, and that letter is followed by two numbers. The first three characters of ICD-10-CM are the “category.” The category describes the general type of injury or disease. The category is followed by a decimal point and the subcategory. This is followed by up to two subclassifications, which further explain the cause, manifestation, location, severity, and type of injury or disease.

Office Ally is recommended software by Baruch Business Solutions, and it’s fully committed to being ready for the ICD-10 transition before the ICD-10 implementation deadline.
