Webinar Overview: Don't miss this opportunity to learn about all of the ICD-9-CM changes for 2012. It is imperative that all coders stay current on changes in the official ICD-9-CM codes and be prepared to implement those changes by October 1st. This session will provide an overview of the changes with particular emphasis on the changes that are most likely to impact home health care services and payment.
