ICD-10 Migration
The American healthcare industry is going through a fundamental transition driven by policy changes that impact key operational aspects of the business. A significant part of this is the US Department of Health and Human Services’ (HSS) mandate to migrate to ICD-10 codes by October 2014.
Healthcare organizations need to assess their technical and business impacts, and considerable planning is required to ensure a smooth and successful remediation of systems, processes, and functions impacted by the move to ICD-10.
Virtusa is a trusted IT services vendor for many of the leading global healthcare organizations. We combine a high level of domain expertise with extensive technical capabilities to understand the impact of the ICD-10 transition on our client’s operations and help them build an effective remediation plan.
