Libman Education Releases Learning Resources to Aid Medical Coders with ICD-10 Implementation

BEDFORD, Mass. - Oct. 17, 2013 - PRLog -- Libman Education has released learning aids to assist medical coders with ICD-10 implementation. The aids are useful to new users of ICD-10 by providing simple and direct “need to know” information about the new coding system.

The learning aids include an ICD-10-CM and PCS definition Bookmark and a nine-piece ICD-10 Root Operations Flash Card set.  They are designed for scribes, coders, Clinical Documentation Improvement Specialists, and providers - anyone who needs a working knowledge of ICD-10. Offered at affordable rates, the learning aids—designed to increase productivity—can be purchased in bulk for entire departments.

“With over 140,000 codes, ICD-10 has more than 8 times the codes of ICD-9, which makes the new coding system appear much more complex,” said Susan Pepple, Vice President and COO of Libman Education. “By understanding the structure and organization of the new code system, you start to appreciate its beauty and simplicity.  Our ICD-10 learning aids have been designed to be a useful tool in becoming familiar with the ICD-10 system.  And they are simple to use:  keep them handy, place them on your desk or computer monitor, and use them to follow tables in your codebooks.  They are quick reference guides you can use while coding. These simple tools can save coders time and increase their productivity.”

The ICD-10 bookmark is a two-sided, laminated bookmark that provides the definition of each character in the ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS coding systems. This bookmark is currently being offered for free at Libman Education’s website.

The ICD-10 Root Operations Flash Cards are a set of nine 5×7, double-sided full color cards presented in attractive, durable laminated coating. The reference cards provide “need to know” ICD-10 coding tips in a straight to the point, no nonsense manner.
