MBCS Students Take Note: ICD-10 Workshop

This is your opportunity to learn about  the new ICD-10 coding system, which is scheduled to take effect on October 1, 2014. 

With the adoption of the ICD-10 coding system, the number of medical codes for various diagnoses and disease conditions will increase from about 18,000 to about 155,000 entries. A number of them have been highlighted in popular journalistic accounts, including codes for injuries sustained in a collision with a bicycle, while knitting and crocheting or gardening and landscaping, or in a collision with a balloon. Codes are also assigned to cases where a patient has been bitten by a parrot, injured in a spacecraft collision, or sucked into a jet engine.

Come to our ICD-10 Workshop to get an insight into the ICD-10 coding scheme and learn the differences between ICD-9 and ICD-10. You'll also become familiar with the ICD-10 books and begin doing exercises to learn how to use ICD-10.
