More specifically, a change from ICD-9 to ICD-10 should be "sold" to non-boarding coder based on a better performance due to more enhanced capabilities of ICD-10 compared to ICD-9 and hence more workflow efficiencies and, ultimately, more customer satisfaction and better compensation prospects. ...
