WHOWHO (World Health Organization) owns & publishes ‘ICD’ (International Classification of Diseases).
WHOWHO endorsed ICD-10 in 1990; members began using ICD-10 or modifications in 1994.
United States United States is the only industrialized country not not using ICD-10 for our coding & reporting of diseases, illnesses, and injuries. Why?
What makes us so different?What makes us so different?

What is the benefit to the provider?What is the benefit to the provider?◦Dramatic improvement in the assignment of costs to Dramatic improvement in the assignment of costs to
procedures performed.procedures performed. ICD-10 will allow us to develop meaningful estimates
about what a disease state or a procedure costs us, while ICD-9 is limited in what it can do in this regard.
◦ Identify opportunities to avoid cost & improve lives.Identify opportunities to avoid cost & improve lives. Additional information in an ICD-10 diagnosis code
includes severity and specific comorbidity, but it can also include information about demographics and some of the underlying reasons for the diagnosis.

Share higher-quality data with other health Share higher-quality data with other health care providers.care providers.◦ICD-10 increases the amount of “specificspecific”
information in every diagnosis code and makes this more valuable to other providers.
For example, ICD-9 has a code for laceration of an artery.
ICD-10 lets you know if that artery was in someone’s finger or in their heart.

Imagine you had a patient who was noncompliant with their medical therapy. In ICD-9, the only code we have available is V15.81 (personal history of noncompliance with medical treatment).
Is the patient noncompliant because of their own personal reason? Or something else?

Rollout ‘monthly dedicated specialty specific’ audit and training.
EX) May is ER month. Coders dual code an identified sample of ER claims. Identify ‘at risk’ documentation by provider. Turn into ‘easy to implement documentation.
EX) If the facility has a CDI team, work cooperatively with the coding team to ‘coach/que’ the ER providers thru their month.
EX) Do an month end dual coding – show improvement or challenges.

Physician dictates, hospital coders code, UB is created.
NEW: Why not share the codes with the providers who are attached to the account? Why repeat the same coding process in the office?
NEW: Brown bag coding luncheons with the provider offices. Office brings samples to code, hospital coders code while teaching ICD 10 concepts. (TX: Lunch & Learn weekly)
NEW: Hospital becomes the outsourcing company to assist small practices with coding.

Scheduling –precerts, eligibility. Claims submission with scrubber –both
ICD 9 and ICD 10 codes ( Min-1 yr ability to rebill, do duality with IT systems.)
Medical necessity CPT codes – software, manual processes, cheat sheets
Recurring accounts – will need new precerts & recoded after 10-1-2014
Payer acceptance of new ICD 10 codes PLUS ICD 9 codes – 2 batches
Payer contract language – Dx codes Payer remark codes/denial codes CDM – Hardcoded RT/LT needs to
match with the soft coded RT/LT ICD10 Trauma/Tumor registry - translated All IT systems within the organization
837/835 HIPAA transaction sets – new for ICD 10 locators

Beyond the coders… PFS leadership as payers may reject based on ICD -10
coding and medical necessary codes & denial software. PFS leadership and contracting to ensure contracts can
accept both ICD-9 and ICD-10 on the UBs post go live. UR and all care mgt as payers will need to be able to do
pre-certifications and concurrent review with ICD-10. Decision support and all areas using ICD-9/10 coding for
tracking, reporting, etc. (Trauma registry, Tumor registry, outcome comparisons, contracting, etc.).
IT leadership must be involved to ensure all impacted areas are ready. A team leader or leaders are identified.

UB submissions with ICD-9 and ICD-10 - conversion dates
Denials with new reasons –as ICD-10 is far more specific
Contract language that addresses ICD-10 inclusions/exclusions
Claim scrubbers/payer scrubbers – ABN issues (LCD/NDC dx codes), ‘if ‘ rules, edits
Pre-authorization process/coverage WC and Liability are not subject to HIPAA
standard transactions. Will they convert?

Will they deny ‘unspecified” dx? How many digits will they require to have a ‘pre
authorization ‘ match? Testing – test pt type, create claim, thru scrubber,
to payer to payment. When start? Post go live? Accept DOS with ICD 9 after go live? If delayed, notify CMS/HIPAA Standard
Transaction 2003. Track and trend all payer issues – report to hospital
association.

The challenges… What?What? For each Lab NCD, the ICD-9-CM codes and descriptions will
have to be translated to
ICD-10-CM versions. When?When? ◦ (A) Prepare preliminary versions of ICD-10-CM translations of Lab
NCDs by end of January 2011 (for use in testing system functions).◦ (B) Prepare ICD-10-CM versions for full ICD-10-CM implementation
in 2015
◦ HEY – look at MLN Matters MM8197 3-15-13HEY – look at MLN Matters MM8197 3-15-13◦ “ICD conversion from ICD-9 to related code infrastructure of
the Medicare shared systems as they relate to CMS’ NCDs.”

Translate all ICD-9-CM codes and descriptors in each Lab NCD’s table of covered codes to the ICD-10-CM equivalent(s).
Provide these translated tables to the CMS contractor, so that the tables can be incorporated into the ‘codelist spreadsheet’ which will be processed for use by the shared systems for claims processing (update 2/13 – NCDs available).
GoalGoal: Allow consistent and “seamlessseamless” transition of claims for providers of laboratory test services.
(CONTINUE TO WATCH for payer updates)

Will payers, vendors (claim submission and scrubber) and other IT systems be able to handle ICD-9-CM as well as ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS at the same time?
Rebills of pre-conversion, medical necessity software, scrubbers, ensuring all payers are ready to convert AND test with each payer = critical to the successful conversion.
P.S. Don’t forget all payers (Medicaid too!)

caused by a fracture fragment that pierces the skin (low energy injury)
◦ Type IIType II: Wound is longer than 1 cm, not contaminated, and w/o major soft tissue damage or defect (low energy injury)
◦ Type IIIType III: Wound is longer than 1 cm, with significant soft tissue disruption. The mechanism often involves high-energy trauma, resulting in a severely unstable fracture with varying degrees of fragmentation.

Hay Group White Paper in 2006 estimated cost for hospitals ranged from $35K - $150K for < 100 beds, to $500K to $2 million for 400+ beds.

It is anticipated that you will see a significant increaseincrease in the # of physician queries that will be generated from ICD-10.
Existing coding queries will most likely have to be “updated” as you will be asking for different documentation to capture “specificity”.
Make sure they are not ‘leading’ the physician to document one way or another!
Consider making the query part of the permanent medical record (physician addendum).
Track and trend for patterns and then do more education!

Think concurrent inpatient coding. Immediate interaction with the provider and other
caregivers on weak or incomplete documentation. Have coders on the floor with the care team. Back
office coding results in ‘chasing’ the provider = delay in coding = delay in cash.

ICD-10 needs as identified thru queries and risk audits.

◦Audit top 25 ICD-9-CM principal diagnosis codes and map to ICD-10-CM codes and begin auditing to determine whether the records contain the necessary clinicalclinical information to support the ICD-10-CM principal diagnosis code.
Coding Audits◦ Target certain inpatient cases for review based on the MS-
