GEMs are not Accurate Translation Tools
With the introduction of
ICD-10 , the need to outsource the medical task has increased enormously as
there is a shortage of coders or coders who are well equipped to deal with the
codes.
The fact is :
No true crosswalk' exists between ICD-9 and ICD-10
With AccuChecker
Online and our support staff, physicians and coders can correctly code for
ICD-10. The new methodology with ICD-10
requires you to understand:
·
Code First
·
Exclusion 1
·
Exclusion 2
·
Inclusion
It has already been determined that the GEM tools and/or
mapping of ICD-9 to ICD-10 or ICD-10
to ICD-9 is NOT accurate. Furthermore, the mapping is very confusing when it
comes to the clinical documentation. Avoid
payment reductions, penalties or even a potential CMS audit.
