Elana Oberstein, MD and Medical Director of Musculoskeletal, shared, “The new 2019 ICD-10 additions helped add more specificity for the classifications of certain conditions. For example, in the musculoskeletal subject area, we now have the ability to better specify an illness. If a patient has muscular dystrophy, we can detail if this is a Duchenne or Becker variant or Fascioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy. This level of granularity can improve documentation and thus, a better understanding of affected patients.”
