Here is some feedback from an ACE, Inc. client:

“With their in-depth knowledge about pain and anesthesia services, they were able to answer any questions and intelligently assess our group practice. I particularly liked the direct information provided (not just fluff). In my opinion, both the auditing and consulting services offered by ACE were a good investment for our group and will be a good resource for future references.”

ICD-10 Rumors

We would like to point out that there is a rumor that ICD-10 will be put into place in January 2011. Practices should start speaking with computer vendors about expanding the ICD-9 table files to accommodate a seven digit ICD-10 files. They estimate that change will be equivalent to the 2000 date change in expense to practices.
