April 1 is closer than it looks, and ICD-10 mid-year changes can quietly wreck clean claims if your team isn’t ready.
Don’t get caught off guard by:
✓ New/revised ICD-10-CM codes that change medical necessity
✓ Old favorites that get “tweaked” (and suddenly deny)
✓ Payers updating edits at different speeds, hello mismatched rules
Quick readiness checklist:
• Review April 1 updates + payer bulletins now
• Update your cheat sheets/smart phrases + templates
• Run a 30-day lookback: your top 20 diagnoses + highest-dollar payers
• Spot-test claims before the first week of April hits
