1 ICD-10 Getting There….. Radiology

2 What Physicians Need To Know Claims for ambulatory and physician services provided on or after 10/1/2015 must use ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. Hospital inpatient claims for discharges occurring on or after 10/1/2015 must use ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. CPT Codes will continue to be used for physician inpatient and outpatient services and for hospital outpatient procedures. ICD-10-PCS – a NEW procedure coding classification system, must be used to code all inpatient procedures on Facility Claims for discharges on or after 10/1/15. ICD-9-CM codes must continue to be used for all dates of services on or before 9/30/2015. Further delays are not likely.

7 ICD-10-CM Enhancements Acuity, Type and Circumstances AcuityTypeCircumstances Acute Chronic Acute on Chronic Left Ventricular Systolic Diastolic Combined Following Surgery Due to Hypertension Due to Chronic Kidney Disease For example, a patient with dyspnea referred for a chest x-ray to rule out congestive heart failure.

8 Information NeededRequired ICD-10 Documentation How did the injury occur? What type of injury was sustained? What activity was taking place? When did the injury occur in relation to this encounter? Where was the patient when the injury occurred? Why was the activity happening? 32-year-old female S/P external fixation right displaced pilon fracture due to jumping from her second story bedroom window in a suicide attempt. Fracture shows nonunion four weeks post op. Here for additional surgical intervention. ICD-10-CM Enhancements Circumstances Surrounding Injuries For example, fracture resulting from suicide attempt.

9 AnemiaCardiomyopathyHeadache Nutritional Hemolytic Aplastic Blood Loss Dilated/Congestive Obstructive Non-obstructive Endomyocardial fibrosis Cluster Tension Post-traumatic Drug-induced ICD-10-CM Enhancements Type The specific type of a patient’s disease may impact treatment and medical necessity for services rendered.

10 DIABETESCOPDCANCERARTHRITIS Skin Ulcers Gout Kidney Disease PVD Eye Problems Malnutrition Pneumonia Musculoskeletal Changes CHF Anemia Depression Malnutrition Thrombosis Lung Disease Heart Disease Skin Problems Sickle Cell Disease Hypothyroidism ICD-10-CM Enhancements Underlying and Associated Conditions Accurate and complete documentation includes underlying or associated conditions and their impact on diagnostic findings.

11 Major Changes in ICD-10-CM Acuity Circumstances Surrounding Injuries Combination Codes Identification Affected Fetus Laterality Site Trimester Type Underlying and associated Conditions ICD-10-CM Enhancements Specificity and Granularity

12 Using Sign/Symptom and Unspecified Codes Sign/symptom and “unspecified” codes have acceptable, even necessary, uses. If a definitive diagnosis has not been established by the end of the encounter, it is appropriate to report codes for signs and/or symptoms in lieu of a definitive diagnosis. When sufficient clinical information is not known or available about a particular health condition, it is acceptable to report the appropriate “unspecified” code. It is inappropriate to select a SPECIFIC code that is not supported by the medical record documentation.
