Will Doctors or Hospitals ever get paid or pass a audit with the new health care codes that arrive Oct 1st. They better use the right code when invoicing HHS. Some examples:
Code W61.01XA: bitten by a parrot, initial encounter.
Code V97.33XD: sucked into a jet engine, subsequent encounter. (Subsequent encounter? You mean someone actually didn't learn his lesson the 1st time?)
. The federal Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services is sticking to an Oct. 1 deadline to roll out the updated and vastly expanded system known as ICD 10.
