Next up is ICD10 and HCPCS coding. April 2020. Note that ASAHQ is the org. that monitors "quality" for US Healthcare. https://www.asahq.org/quality-and-practice-management/managing-your-practice/timely-topics-in-payment-and-practice-management/2020-04-15-covid-coding
I need to correct the organization on this one. It is not ASAHQ. The org for quality is AHRQ.
