Ditto on the ICD-10 training! I used to work for a medical center as a PA and along the way I made good friends with the coding gals their. I recently stopped in to say hello, and had asked them how things were going with the new transition from ICD-9 to 10. Most of the gals except for the newest edition have been trained in ICD-9 from years ago, my friend mentioned that shes "looked" at the new criteria but really has not done any training in ICD-10 yet. There is only one gal who is trained in ICD-10. I fear that 3-4 months down the road when ICD-10 is in full use that they are going to be in a very sticky prediciment due to the medical facility not carrying out the new training that everyone needs. My friend mentioned that ICD-10 looked like a whole "different language", I said best of luck! and not to wait too long on getting familiarized with ICD-10
