Hi Bert,

Maybe nothing is wrong with ICD-10. Maybe it is even better than ICD-9. Maybe if I were just starting practice I would embrace ICD-10.

But I have thousands of patients, mostly older/complicated, with multiple diagnoses. So I am doing a recheck of someone post MI and stent, with high chol, DM, BP, and the patient complains mostly of pain in their R knee, and of generalized muscle achinng.

How long will it take me to determine 6 or 7 new diagnosis codes? And how many times/day will I have to do this?
