Physicians know the change to ICD-10 coding on Oct. 1 is going to radically change how they input diagnostic and billing codes. That's mostly due to the number of codes swelling by thousands compared to the previous coding vocabulary, ICD-9.

[Also: Social media momentum continues around ICD-10 deadline]

Well, to help explain the changes to doctors and consumers, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has taken to the Web, producing a series of animated videos that explain the changes in a very easy to understand format.

Take a look and let us know what you think:
