4. 5010 The implementation of 5010 aka HIPAA2, is rapidly approaching 5010 will be the new HIPAA format Medicare contractors will begin testing with submitters as early as January 2011 The 5010 formats must be used as of January 2012 It is important that you discuss your 5010 preparations and readiness with your vendor and/or clearinghouse Medicare does not anticipate any extension on the 2012 compliance date.

9. Why ICD-10? Improve accuracy and efficiency of coding Reduce training effort Improve communication with physicians Completeness - All substantially different procedures have a unique code Expandability - The structure of the system allows incorporation of new procedures as unique codes Standardize terminology - Includes definitions of the terminology used. While the meaning of specific words can vary in common usage, ICD- 10-PCS defines a single meaning for each term used in the system.

10. Preparing for ICD-10 More complete than ICD-9-CM, greater specificity Easy to expand the system Multi-axial structure makes it easier to analyze Standardized terminology makes it easier to use once the coder has initial training Initial training time will be a factor since it differs significantly from ICD-9-CM Having all terms defined makes it easier to teach Once basic knowledge is acquired, the coder does not use the index

11. Structure of ICD-9 vs ICD-10 ICD-9 3-5 characters First character is numeric or alpha (E or V) Characters 2-5 are numeric Always at least 3 characters Use of decimal after 3 characters Alpha characters are not case-sensitive IDC-10 3-7 characters Character 1 is alpha Character 2 is numeric Characters 3-7 are alpha or numeric All letters except U Always at least 3 characters Use of decimal after 3 characters Alpha characters are not case-sensitive

12. ICD-10-CM Structure: 3 to 6 position code with leading alpha (+extension)
