Register today to begin ICD-10 professional testing

The ICD-10 implementation date is Oct. 1, 2015. To assist you with the transition, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan encourages you to use our ICD-10 testing tool for professional health care providers. The testing tool will not only give you an opportunity to work with ICD-10, but it also will provide us with a better idea of ICD-10 readiness.

Here are a few notes about the tool:

  • The testing tool is available through the ICD-10 implementation date of Oct. 1, 2015.
  • Testing is done through a Web-based assessment; no special software or lengthy test requirements will be needed.
  • It is “content based” and “specialty specific,” which means that professional health care providers will be presented with several unique health care encounters to code in ICD-10.
  • Providers will need to register for each specialty they are interested in testing.

To register for the ICD-10 professional test tool, use this link.
