GEMs are not Accurate Translation Tools



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. 

AccuChecker Online has you covered !
