Agenda
7
What?• Transition form ICD-9 to ICD-10• ICD-10 CM (diagnosis)
– 3 to 7 digits instead of the 3 to 5 digits– 68,000 codes compared to 14,000 codes
in ICD-9
• ICD-10 PCS (inpatient procedure)− 7 digits instead of 3 to 4 digits− 84,000 codes compared to 4,000 codes in
ICD-9
When?• October 1, 2014• NO DELAYS, NO GRACE PERIODS
Who? • All HIPAA covered entities who transmit
electronic transactions− Providers, payers, billing services,
clearinghouses, etc.
Background
Why?• ICD-9 is obsolete
– It is 30 years old– It has outdated terms– Doesn’t reflect current medical knowledge
or advances in technology– Not descriptive enough– No room for expansion– Lack of flexibility
• ICD-10 allows for:– Greater specificity
• Will improve the ability to measure health care services and decrease the need to include supporting information with claims
– Includes updated medical terminology and disease classification
– Allows providers to better ID patients with specific conditions
• Will benefit from tailored disease mgmt. programs, e.g. diabetes, asthma
8
• Areas of Primary Impact– Clinical Documentation– Coding & Billing– Education & Training– Reporting & Analytics
• HCR initiatives already underway (MUI&II,EHR)• Anecdotal information
– Early experience by some Health System and Payer organizations testing the coding of bills as ICD-10 utilizing existing patient records resulted in a low (< 50%) success rate
Challenges
9
• Upgrading the systems will make us compliant• Cross-walk will solve all your problems• Revenue neutrality• CMS will delay again
Myths
10
A Structured Approach
• Create initial awareness, outline effort and establish governance
• Organizational readiness and capacity for changeAssessment
• Program management, drive communication activities, vendor engagement, Code Management, work streams to address impacts and operational preparedness
Remediation
• End-to-end integrated testing, include partners• Validation of Readiness activities• Training and Education begins
Testing
• Implementation & distribution of Cross-Walk• Business operations transition plan execution• Data & Analytics preparation
Readiness
• Begin use of ICD-10 in daily operationsGo-Live
• On-going monitoring of organizational activities impacted by the ICD-10 change, identifying and making adjustments as necessary
