Mark your calendars - the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced it will conduct
front-end testing of ICD-10 billing code submission between Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) and providers.
That means CMS will be testing how well the system works from the provider's side - that is, how easily and accurately providers can submit claims - using the new ICD-10 billing codes once they take effect in October.
p.s. Don't forget... ICD-10 will not be required on the CPC exam this year so stock up on the ICD-9 practice exam questions. The Medical Coding Exam System Deluxe Package has over 600 practice exam questions plus you get the books below and online access for ONE FULL YEAR!
