The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) is the community of professionals engaged in health information management, providing support to members and strengthening the industry and profession. A world in which the public values the contribution of health information management professionals and the American Health Information Management Association, in the advancement of health through quality information: 1) Provides career, professional development and practice resources; Sets standards for education and certification; and, Advocates public policy that advances HIM practice. AHIMA fosters the professional development of coding professionals through advocacy, education, certification, and lifelong learning opportunities. Please remember that the government no longer allows a grace period for annual code sets. The new HIPAA Transaction and Code Set Rule requires providers to use national medical code sets that are valid at the time that a service is provided. ICD-9-CM code revisions become effective October 1st each year while CPT and HCPCS code revisions become effective January 1st. In order for you to meet this requirement, you must have the revised CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-9-CM codes in your possession before the implementation dates. The best way to do this is to order your code books early. Review current coding resources. You may also be interested in: CPT Assistant from AMA to keep up to date on CPT coding, or best-selling Flash Code, the coding software from PMIC.
