Another piece of the ICD-10 puzzle...

Only a few more months remain until the October 1, 2015 ICD-10 deadline for the use of the new code sets.

Learning the new ICD-10 codes is essential to your ICD-10 readiness. 

There will be many situations in which you will need to map the ICD-9 code to the most appropriate ICD-10 code. HNS encourages all practicing chiropractors to purchase ChiroCode's ICD-10 Coding for Chiropractic (Second Edition).  This book is perhaps the best ICD-10 chiropractic resource for converting ICD-9 codes to ICD-10 codes and includes an ICD-9 to ICD-10 code map.

HNS has negotiated a 10% discount off the purchase price of this book, plus free shipping and handling, for HNS providers.  Click here for information about how to order and receive the HNS discount.

To make the conversion process easier, HNS is providing a code conversion table, which includes a list of the top 100 diagnoses (reported by HNS providers) and the most likely corresponding ICD-10 codes. This list was prepared for HNS by Dr. Mario Fucinari, a nationally known expect in ICD-10 for chiropractic.
