"The U.S. currently lags behind other countries in upgrading to ICD-10, which is vital to facilitating virtually all financial aspects of the health care business, including claims and reimbursements. AHIP has recognized the significance of this change for its members, and we are pleased to develop the training support critical to help health insurance plans convert to ICD-10 by 2013."

Implementing revised HIPAA standards and ICD-10 codes could potentially have the largest operational and technological impacts on the health care industry since Y2K. It’s also a significant undertaking for health insurance plans that requires extensive planning and execution.

Will your organization be ready? We can help.

America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) and Deloitte Consulting LLP (Deloitte) have developed a nine-part Virtual Seminar series that will address key components of the HIPAA and ICD-10 regulatory changes mandated by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Topics include:

  • your compliance responsibilities
  • how the new requirements will impact your administrative and business operations
  • how your organization’s implementation fits within larger efforts by other industry stakeholders (providers, vendors and clearinghouses)
