The health of all Americans is on the line – particularly among the nation’s communities of color, where maternal health issues, behavioral health issues, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions have a disportionate impact.
Recognizing this national concern, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association has devised a national health equity strategy to confront such health disparities. All this follows the release by the National Center for Health Statistics of 2022 ICD-10-CM codes, both new and updated, for education, food insecurity, and housing, with implementation effective beginning Oct. 1, 2021.
The live broadcast will also feature these other segments:
