Let’s think outside of the box … away from the fear and confusion about ICD-10 for a moment.
Some consider ICD-10 to be the equivalent of the atomic bomb. On the contrary, it’s an essential evolution and (for some), one of the biggest opportunities to improve quality of care that will increase reimbursements in the process.
Yes, that’s right. When done correctly, ICD-10 will INCREASE revenue for physical therapy business practices.
I discuss all of this in my brand new free podcast for physical therapy practice owners.
This podcast has had over one thousands downloads and is also available on iTunes.
