Shortage of ICD-10 Coders and Offshore Coding

I recently had a chance to sit down with Joseph Gurrieri, VP and COO of H.I.M. ON CALL to discuss two really important topics in the world of HIM: ICD-10 coder shortage and offshore medical coding. With the ICD-10 deadline for implementation breathing down our necks, many organizations are asking themselves where they’re going to get qualified ICD-10 coders. In the following videos, Joseph talks about the shortage and their approach to meeting the ICD-10 coding needs. After watching the videos below, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the subjects. Is there a shortage? Are you ok with offshore medical coding?
