ICD-10

On January 16, 2009, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released the final rule mandating that everyone covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) must implement ICD-10 for medical coding effective October 1, 2013.

HealthLink is committed to ensuring that our systems, supporting business processes, policies and procedures successfully meet the implementation standards and deadlines without interruption to day-to-day business practices. We have established cross-functional teams throughout the organization, dedicated to researching issues, assessing systems, reviewing business processes, and educating our organization and affiliates about implementation procedures.
