The WHO endorsed ICD-10 in 1990. This
disease classification is the latest in a series, originating in the
1850s!
In South Africa these diagnostic codes need to be supplied for re-imbursement from the medical insurers.
Unfortunately coding can be a complex
exercise, and, if not done right, claims get
rejected.
Fortunately Bluebird's ICD tools take the pain out
of ICD coding. Making the invoice is so simple that most Bluebird doctors do it
themselves as the patient leaves the room and the invoice is waiting as the
patient arrives at reception.
