ICD-9 to ICD-10 Transitions
As 5010 compliance was effective January 1, 2012 and 5010 is only a stepping stone to implement ICD-10, it is recommended you start perusing the crosswalk of the new diagnosis code set which must be transitioned from ICD-9 to ICD-10 by Oct. 1, 2013. |

For our shared vision to be successful, it is vital that we create and maintain a robust network of MCN Physicians.

 The early portion of the 21 st Century will be an era in which progress, in the science and biology of cancer, will result in an explosion of new technologies with which to prevent, diagnose, treat and cure cancer. While this process will be a boon to cancer patients and society, it will come with substantial costs in an environment where finances may be limited. Cancer patients need protection to allow access to and delivery of optimal cancer management, including providing or coordinating cancer screening and detection, cancer/genetic counseling, cancer education, cancer prevention, cancer treatment, cancer symptom management, and cancer rehabilitation. |
