I have heard rumors that the new version will allow coding & billing before signing. The new version is supposed to be out in April or May, I believe?
The whole way that AC handles the ICD-9 codes is extremely terrible, for many reasons.
One potential talk for the Users Conference in June would center on how to fix the ICD-9 Code Lookup so that it would be more usable. I could personally talk about it for a solid hour.
The question is: would anybody be interested in a talk like that?
