ICD-10 & 5010

Impending Doom?

ICD-10 will be one of the biggest challenges the healthcare industry has ever faced. The new code set is nearly ten times larger than its predecessor ICD-9. That coupled with the reality that many providers have not successfully upgraded to the ASC X12 5010 HIPAA mandate—which is required for submitting claims under ICD-10—has many calling the situation a major crisis. If your organization is not adequately prepared, you will face major disruptions to your business.

Or Potential Opportunity?

Transitioning to ICD-10 and 5010 does not have to be just another regulatory burden. WPC offers solutions that allow you to achieve more than just compliance. We understand how to take advantage of these mandated changes so your healthcare organization can redefine business processes and streamline operations.
