QUERIES (ICD-10 UPDATE)

Query: ICD-10 Grace Period

 

I would like to know if anyone can clarify the meaning of the general coding that can be used during the one year grace period in the transitioning to ICD-10 codes. How specific do providers have to be with coding? I even heard from some that the ICD-9 codes will still be accepted. If anyone has knowledge of this transition, please comment.
