Why is the conversion from ICD-9 to ICD-10 such a large administrative burden for healthcare providers?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The new system contains over 50,000 more codes than ICD-9, and the ICD-10 codes do not match up exactly with ICD-9 codes, so it is a complicated process to convert data and software.
