Medical decision making isn’t easy—no matter how long you’ve
been in the healthcare industry or how well you know the codes. And
unfortunately, it’s about to get even tougher. The government has created some
new rules that are going to have an impact on medical billing codes in the near
future.
While healthcare professionals only have to be familiar with
14,000 codes right now, that should jump to a scary 68,000 once the changeover
is complete!
FutureofCapitalism.com recently published a news article
showing some of the new system’s crazier codes, which include a code for
spacecraft collisions and a code for a parrot bite during a first-time
encounter with the bird.
Not only will these new codes change medical decision making
for healthcare professionals, but getting the new codes set up and working is
going to be quite costly and difficult for healthcare facilities.
Like it or not, the change is coming however. The best thing
you can do is to make your job easier any way you can, which is something you
can easily do with help from the DeductorMD app!
If you are a healthcare clinician, are you using todays new healthcare app, DeductorMD?
