The four different templates are geared toward four different audiences:

•    Small and medium practices
•    Large practices
•    Small hospitals
•    Payors

CMS said the guides can help hospitals, providers and payors ensure appropriate steps and actions are taken in the ICD-10 implementation process, stay on top of deadlines and customize transition plans that can clarify staff roles and other responsibilities.
