Compliance Education and Training for Otolaryngology Offices
Each day, your office is responsible for processing numerous accounts for medical billing and coding, ensuring that everything has been done properly to avoid rejected or denied claims from third party payers. ENT billing and coding has undergone lots of changes in recent years, as has the entire healthcare industry as a whole.

What is ICD-10?
The “ICD” in ICD-10 stands for the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems. The number ten represents that this is the tenth version of the global standards for the classification of diseases and other related health problems. The standard for this program is upheld by the World Health Organization (WHO), which is responsible for publishing and updating this list on a regular basis to accommodate all of the classifications required for medical billing and coding.
The goal is to help healthcare professionals to have a greater understanding of the many different points of data that is used for various diseases and health issues. The diseases, signs and symptoms, social circumstances, external causes of injury or diseases, and special cases and findings, are all assigned different codes, which are used to streamline this information for the healthcare industry.
The United States uses a modified version of ICD-10, which is known as ICD-10-CM, which contains changes made by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Nation Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). ICD-10-CM expanded the code base previously used for ICD in America from around 14,000 to nearly 70,000 codes. The hope is that this expanded code base will provide more data to help monitor practices, diagnoses, and techniques that are important to the public health.
