Countdown: 20 Days to ICD-10

Countdown: 20 Days to ICD-10

As part of our ongoing commitment to health care providers, HPP Management Group, Corp., is taking on as much preparation work for clients as possible. Fifteen years after the Y2K panic, the healthcare industry is once again closely watching the calendar. Not since Jan. 1, 2000, have so many industry professionals had their eyes on a deadline as they do on Oct. 1, 2015. 

More than half of healthcare providers are not yet on track to comply with the new code set on Oct. 1, 2015.

 

ICD-10 Basic: 

The ICD-9 code sets used to report medical diagnoses and inpatient procedures will be replaced by ICD-10 code sets on October 1, 2015. ICD-10 consists of two parts: 

•ICD-10-CM diagnosis coding which is for use in all U.S. health care settings.

•ICD-10-PCS inpatient procedure coding which is for use in U.S. hospital settings. 

ICD-10 will affect diagnosis and inpatient procedure coding for everyone covered by the Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act (HIPAA), not just those who submit Medicare or Medicaid claims: 

•Claims for services provided on or after the compliance date should be submitted with ICD-10 diagnosis codes.

•Claims for services provided prior to the compliance date should be submitted with ICD-9 diagnosis codes.

The change to ICD-10 does not affect CPT coding for outpatient procedures.
