Tools to Ease the Transition Process

ChiroCode’s Complete and Easy ICD-10 Coding for Chiropractic (Second Edition)
While HNS is providing a code conversion table to compare ICD-9 to ICD-10 codes, there will be many situations in which this tool will not be sufficient and you will need to map the ICD-9 code to the most appropriate ICD-10 code.
HNS encourages all practicing chiropractors to purchase ChiroCode’s ICD-10 Coding for Chiropractic (Second Edition). This book is perhaps the best ICD-10 chiropractic resource for converting ICD-9 codes to ICD-10 codes and includes an ICD-9 to ICD-10 code map.
HNS has negotiated a 10% discount off the purchase price of this book, plus free shipping and handling, for HNS providers. Click here for information about how to order and receive the HNS discount.
