Version 5010, are you ready? If you work in the healthcare industry you should be VERY AWARE of the major changes occurring with insurance claims processing. Due to inaccuracies in reporting information gathered from claims and incorrect payments made due to code choices, the healthcare industry will be migrating to the use of ICD-10 codes. This means that diagnosis codes will go through a major overhaul, expanding from five (5) alpha numeric places to seven (7) alpha numeric places.

Have you considered joining insurance panels, or becoming contracted with insurance carriers so that you can see patients that carry a specific type of insurance? Do you know what it will take to do so? Which carriers do you choose to work with? All of these are important things to consider when you are wanting to become contracted with any insurance carrier. First, you need to think about the which carriers you are interested in joining (Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Humana, Medicare, Medicaid, united Healthcare, Tricare).
