ICD-9 changes: it's time to tend to your superbill.

I t is almost autumn in Kansas, and the corn continues to grow in some fields. The fall harvest is still a few weeks off. However, the farmers in my area will tell you that what happens now will determine the harvest’s outcome. Physician practices must think in the same way. The ICD-9 updates have been released, making this a good time to review your superbills for needed revisions. Doing this work now could save you the time and trouble of correcting and resubmitting claims that are denied because of out-of-date diagnosis codes.
