Are you Among the 75% of Providers NOT Ready for ICD10?

Summary

KPMG study shows payers and providers underprepared for ICD-10 implementation, causing moderate to severe impact on bottom line.

A recent study by KPMG conducted in the last quarter of 2013 states that the majority of payers and providers surveyed are significantly deficient in preparing for key aspects of ICD-10 implementation.  There are two main areas where those surveyed said their organizations had not properly addressed ICD10 implementation:

  • comprehensive system testing
  • determination of impact on cash flow and revenue cycles

Another finding is that nearly 75% of respondents surmised that the transition to ICD-10 coding would have moderate to severe impact on an organization’s bottom line.
