Barry Libman to Speak on Procedure Coding at MaHIMA ICD-10 Readiness Conference
ICD-10 Readiness Course to be featured in Reception AreaBEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS – March 19, 2012 – Barry Libman, president of Barry Libman, Inc., is scheduled to speak on procedure coding at the Massachusetts Health Information Management Association’s (MaHIMA) ICD-10 Summit on March 23, 2012, at the Lantana in Randolph, MA.
The event focuses on equipping HIM professionals to prepare for the ICD-10-CM transition. Barry Libman’s presentation, ICD-10-PCS – Procedure Coding, discusses some of the particularly challenging aspects of procedure coding in the new system.
“With ICD-10 around the corner, HIM professionals are preparing to learn the new system and handle the additional challenges,” said Barry Libman. “Procedure coding is significantly different in ICD-10 and will require training not only on the coding system itself, but additional knowledge of anatomy and physiology. The coder’s role will be critically important and preparation is key. I look forward to discussing this important matter at the ICD-10 Summit.”
In addition to Barry Libman’s presentation, Barry Libman Inc.’s popular ICD-10 training course, Anatomy & Physiology for Coders, will be featured in the conference reception area. The 24/7, 12 week course is ideal for preparing medical coders for transition to ICD-10-CM and –PCS.
The Anatomy & Physiology for Coders product demonstrationwill feature an actual student module with lesson notes, multi-media videos, interactive educational games, full-color anatomical drawings, quizzes, and weekly assessments.
