Professionals involved in the medical evaluation and management fields have been working themselves into a frenzy trying to prepare for the implementation of the new medical billing code, known as ICD-10. The new billing system, which has been in the development stages for close to a decade and is the first major update to the billing system since 1979, was originally scheduled to go into use in October of 2014.

Fortunately, however, congressional leaders have cut medical evaluation and management professionals some slack by putting off the code’s implementation for another year. A year goes fast, however, and in the grand scheme of things, really isn’t adequate time to learn a lot of new codes.

You can make the most of your year by studying the new coding system thoroughly and by utilizing apps that can improve your understanding of the system. A helpful app that can have you mastering the system well ahead of schedule is available at DeductorMD.com.
