Firm attorney John C. has written a new post for the Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and Suffolk Injuryboard blog site about a forthcoming increase in the number of codes that doctors and hospitals use to record the specifics of how patients became injured. Insurence companies use the ICD codes to determine payments on claims. John asks whether the expansion in codes will lead to a rise in mistakes and give insurance companies new reasons to delay or withhold payments.
