Crazy Codes are Coming

People who work in the medical evaluation and management fields know that a change is coming, and most of them aren’t happy about it. There’s nothing they can do, however; come October of 2015, ICD-9 will be a thing of the past, and ICD-10 will be in charge! 


While most people are complaining about how much bigger and more intimidating ICD-10 is, others are just having a good laugh at some of the “crazy codes” that exist within this brand new guidebook. So, what are  some of the stranger codes?

Well, medical evaluation and management professionals will likely be surprised to know that one code is for when the client has been sucked into a jet engine…and it’s not the first time. There’s also another code for when a person gets attacked by wildebeasts.

While some of those codes may be downright ludicrous, the truth is that you’re going to have to learn them. And, the more you lighten your load, the easier those codes will be to learn. Take a lot of the edge and stress off by using DeductorMD.com’s billing app to assist you.
