CMS holds regular informational calls and webinars through MLN Connects which is part of the Medicare Learning Network. They are geared towards medical doctors and medicare billers, but they have great information for all providers who bill insurance of any sort.
Upcoming is a special ICD-10 Basics session on August 22nd that will walk through the basic differences between ICD-9 and ICD-10. Continuing education credit may be available with proper documentation as well.
Undoubtedly, there will be much on this call that does not pertain to complementary and alternative medicine - especially for Acupuncturists since Medicare still does not cover Acupuncture - but with the extensive nature of the ICD-10 changes, more information is always a good thing.
If you haven't signed up for the MLN Connects Provider eNews I highly recommend it - its a simple way to stay on top of what is "coming down the pipeline" direct from CMS. It is certainly a source I rely on for accurate insurance billing information and updates.
I hope you're looking forward to a wonderful week!
