ICD-10 Overview Practice Resources, LLC 2015 Practice Resources, LLC 20151
2
A new diagnosis coding system is coming to your practice. ICD-10-CM will replace ICD-9-CM as a HIPAA- named code set. – Final Rule published Jan. 16, 2009 – Compliance date: October 1, 2015 Practice Resources, LLC 20152
3
Implementation Dates Single implementation date of the ICD-10 code sets for all users. – ICD-9 will not be accepted for DOS on or after 10/1/15 – ICD-9 will be required for DOS prior to 10/1/15 Practice Resources, LLC 20153
4
Why The Change? Our current coding system is more than 30 years old and is outdated. – Many categories are full. – Some terms and classifications are outdated/obsolete. – Not descriptive enough for all current uses. Practice Resources, LLC 20154
5
The Advantage The change to ICD-10 will allow the U.S. to compare data internationally – Track the incidence and spread of disease and treatment. The transition to ICD-10 is a means to incorporate the U.S., into a stronger international health care community that promotes improved patient outcomes, expanded research opportunities, lower health care costs and a healthier population overall. Practice Resources, LLC 20155
6
Other Benefits Added detail: – Streamlined payment with decreasing delays and pended claims. – Reduce volume of rejected claims and inappropriate denials. – Positive impact on revenue cycles. – Can support refined reimbursement models that reimburse for more complex conditions. Practice Resources, LLC 20156
7
The transition to ICD-10-CM will be a very big change. ICD-9 contains 17,000 codes ICD-10-CM contains more about 70,000 codes Physicians will continue to use CPT for coding procedures. Practice Resources, LLC 20157

Practice Resources, LLC 201518
19
Unspecified Codes There will still be unspecified codes for ICD-10-CM. We are advising offices not to utilize them when a more specific diagnosis is available. Practice Resources, LLC 201519
20
Inpatient Services That Overlap Patient is admitted on September 29, 2015 Same patient is discharged on October 2, 2015 Separate claims will be needed – 1 claim for 29 th & 30 th with ICD-9 codes – 1 claim for 1 st & 2 nd with ICD-10 codes Practice Resources, LLC 201520
21
Documentation Improvement Successfully embracing ICD-10 boils down to meticulous documentation. – How can we help you? – Rely on certified coders and ancillary staff. – The solution is not to train physicians in ICD-10 coding but to show them the clinical documentation requirements that align with their specialty and are needed for the hospital to provide quality patient care and be successful in transitioning to ICD-10. Practice Resources, LLC 201521
22
Will your office be ready? Do you frequently need to ask your office for diagnosis codes? Is your office aware of these ICD-10 changes? What can you do to help with the transition? Practice Resources, LLC 201522
23
The Most Critical Issue For Practices Assess the status of your organization. – Assign an ICD-10-CM implementation team. – Determine the readiness of software vendors. – Consider workflow changes that may be needed. – Practice clinical documentation improvement based on changes. – Determine staffing needs. – Develop a training plan. – Determine the readiness of referring providers. – Determine the readiness of your payers. – Consider reimbursement delays.
