Latest UpdateThis is happening 10/1/2014CMS intimated that the deadline would not be
postponed.The AMA still vehemently opposes this deadline.Hospitals have spent millions on it.You be the judge.

ICD-9-CM vs. ICD-10-CM
![Page 7: ICD-10-CM An Introduction 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816034550346895dcf56e1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
1) ICD-9-CM is out of date and running out of space for new codes on the procedural side.
• Lacks specificity and detail• No longer reflects current medical practice
2) ICD-10 is the international standard to report and monitor diseases and mortality, making it important for the U.S. to adopt ICD-10 based classifications for reporting and surveillance.
3) ICD codes are the core elements of HIT systems, conversion to ICD-10 is necessary to fully realize benefits of HIT adoption.

Reimbursement Issues With ICD-9?
Example: Fracture of WristSkateboarder fractures right wrist
A month later, fractures left wristICD-9 would require additional documentation to find
out which wrist was fractured ICD-10-CM describes in fracture codes
Left versus rightInitial or subsequent encounterRoutine healing , delayed healing, nonunion or
malunion

There Are Benefits of ICD-10
Reflects more emerging technologies, particularly PCS
Captures the details of EMRsMight reduce ADRs from payers due to more
specificityStatistical outcomes will be more measurable
and specificMay support better epidemiological trending

Who Runs The Show?National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) is the
federal agency that is responsible for maintaining the diagnostic coding systems in the U.S.
CMS partners with them to oversee publicly available coding systems
WHO oversees ICD-10 without the –CMThe American Health Information Management
Association (AHIMA) oversees education and training

Shorter code descriptions because of lack of specificity and abbreviated code titles
Longer code descriptions because of greater clinical detail and
specificity and full code titles

Characteristics of ICD-10-CMICD-10-CM far exceeds its predecessors in the
number of concepts and codes providedThe disease classification has been greatly
expanded to include health-related conditions and to provide greater specificity at the sixth digit level and with the seventh digit extension
By the way, the 6th and 7th digit extensions ARE NOT optional for the codes where they are present

What You Should Worry About
The codes you most frequently use Can you run a report from your PM or EMR system
that shows you all ICD-9’s that you have billed more than 50-100 times over the past 2-3 years? Your limits will depend upon your size.
These are the codes you need to know and translate.
You do not need to know 69,000 codesBut, physicians need to access to non-cancer
codes to use when they are evaluating and/or managing patients

Diagnostic codes are everywhere – used by every person, every process, every system….– Superbills– Payments/EOBs/ERAs– Referrals– Contracts– EMRs
But, again, this is limited to codes you actually use
34
Diagnostic Codes are Ubiquitous

Organize Implementation Effort
Enlist staff person (coder, biller, manager) to oversee effort who will be key point person― Prepare information to share with other providers
and staff― Identify work and scope for implementation
Should be a team effort involving all medical practice staff and the staff needs to believe that this will actually happen.
If everyone is not signed on to this, your effort will not work long term
37
![Page 38: ICD-10-CM An Introduction 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816034550346895dcf56e1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Organize Implementation Effort
Examine the level of coding you have in your practice—who is certified? Who has experienced a change before, e.g. E/M, admin codes? Who is equipped to deal with this?
Look at all areas that will impact practice and identify each one that will be affected― List of codes― Practice management system― Electronic Medical Record (EMR), if applicable― Superbills― Clinical areas and pharmacy
Schedule regular meetings to share information with physicians and discuss progress and barriers of implementation.
38
![Page 39: ICD-10-CM An Introduction 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816034550346895dcf56e1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Establish Communication Plan
How will point person communicate with all staff?Most practices communicate via meetings or
memos No need to change method of communications Develop regular schedule for ICD-10 progress efforts
Monthly until 6 months prior to implementation Bi-weekly thereafter
Include information, publications, and articles
Document all meetings and what was discussed herein and make sure you are tracking with your plan.

Conduct Impact AnalysisDevelop reasonable timeline that can be
accomplished in your practice―Map out a project plan on a simple Excel
spreadsheet with benchmarks and status of completion
Managers and/or coders should get physician approval for the project plan and its impact on the practice. Make sure you show and tell them the level of work it will take.

Contact System Vendors• Will they be able to accommodate the need to move
to ICD-10? Really? Were they ready for 5010?• What plans do they have in place for implementation?• Will they have new tools in place to help you with ICD-
10? Will these have a cost? Will they create savings? How long will they run parallel coding?
• When will they have software available for testing?• Will we need new hardware or is current hardware
sufficient?• What is the cost?

Implementation PlanningBreak down planning into stages that fit your size
and structure…Training for a very small practice does not need to
begin until 6 months prior to implementationReview superbills or chargemaster or order entry
charges and remove rarely used codesCrosswalk common codes from ICD-9-CM to ICD-
10-CMLook up codes in ICD-10-CM book and use GEMs, if
necessary, but this is a very general and not necessarily accurate way of coding.
Some vendors now have side-by-side coding, which facilitates the learning process.

Develop Training PlanMany organizations will have several mechanisms for
trainingDistance learningWorkshopsConferencesAudio ConferencesWebinarsBooks
Establish training schedule or just “Train the Trainer”, but this must be a trusted coding person who also can communicate necessary information to clinicians.
Having systems that facilitate clinicians and coders to be around the codes in 2014 are helpful.

Analyze Payer Processes
Identify all payer systems and processes that currently use ICD-9-CM
Review existing medical policies related to ICD-9-CMWhich contracts tied to reimbursement are tied to a
particular diagnosis? Which payers have policies for cancer drugs that are tied to ICD-9? How will this be impacted?
Modify any contract agreements with health plansAscertain their timelines for testing ICD-10
acceptance

Policy Change/ Payment Impact
After health plans complete and change medical policy for procedures and services a specialty providesReview new payment policies Identify opportunities to improve coding processesCommunicate policy changes to applicable staffFind out the policy switch-over date (might not be
10/1/2014)How long will they accept ICD-9-CM claims?Good news: many payers have ICD-10 right on their
sites right now!!! Check it out!!!

Education and Training• Formal education should begin
approximately 6-8 months prior to implementation
• Large practices may need to begin earlier to accommodate all staff who need training
• Use various methods of training: on-line, distance, “Boot Camps”
• Training time depends on their role • Physicians and coders/billers will need more
training time than administrative staff

Deployment of Code Should receive all updated software no later
than 7/31/2014 for implementation of your charge documents. And, that is cutting it mighty close…
Vendor delivers software update with ICD-10-CM, but you should also know how long ICD-9 will be on-line.
Vendors shouldTest system Integrate software into your systemsMake internal customizationsTest systems with clearinghouses, payers,
electronic claims transmission (end to end)Ensure that the vendor will maintain updates to
code during transition period 64

Testing of CodeDoes your PM system transmit ICD-10 codes?What does your clearinghouse do?Is your coding translated to incentive programs,
PQRS? EHR?Does the process from documentation to billing
work?Where are the snafus?

Implementation ComplianceCompliance date for implementation – October
1, 2014Ensure you are staffed for the change.Make sure lines of credit are in place.Monitor compliance activities to identify any
problems.QA chart to billing coding and do this until it looks
clean.Pursue vendor and payer problems as necessary.

Other ConsiderationsConsider use of electronic tools to facilitate
coding process–Could reduce costs and claims rejections–Could increase productivity and coding accuracy
Don’t convert superbills/charge documents too early– Things can change and you don’t want to up your
costs– Assign ICD-10-CM codes directly, not by applying
ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM map—it’s good practice’!!

In Summary… The time to start is YESTERDAY The first thing you need to do is determine where change needs to
happen and how much it will cost. Physicians may have no idea that this will be a line item.
Hospitals are way ahead of practices. They are doing dual coding right now! So, do not count on delays!
Physicians need to be trained---do not let them off the hook---documentation is very different under ICD-10-CM.
Check out your payer polcies---some are already translated! What did you learn from 5010 that will help you with this? Marshall the resources that are available at no charge and there
are a lot.
