Conquering ICD-10 for Worker's Compensation and Personal Injury

This is the biggest change Eugene Fukumoto has seen in over 30 years of billing and coding. It will be a challenge to make the transition. It is very important that providers understand that their documentation is key and that they have to know that their documentation must support claims submitted.

The changes in ICD-10 for Worker's Compensation and Personal Injury are even more daunting than for most specialties because of the specific knowledge of 'Injury Codes' required, as well as the Med-Legal complications.

Eugene Fukumoto has spent most of his career in medical billing and collecting. He has been working with Medicare in early testing before October 2015. As we transition into ICD-10, he saw a need to train Doctors and their staff on how to get the bill "out the door". That is the purpose of this book, to help your entire staff understand ICD-10 and how it coordinates with the CPT codes, the CMS Form 1500 and the documentation in the chart and in reporting.

Once you go through the step-by-step process and work with Eugene's examples it will make it very clear. Eugene and his team are here to help you beyond the book, as well, with Online Training, Blogs and other tools.

The intention is to give you a credible book with step-by-step instructions to make the actually billing process easier.

Simply put, what Eugene is trying to accomplish here is to help you "get the bill out the door"!

The complications for Worker’s Compensation and Personal Injury for ICD-10 are more 'unknown' than any other specialty.
