ICD-10 Family Ractice Reference

Family Practice References

[ FINAL RULE ]  On July 31, HHS issued a rule (CMS-0043-F) finalizing October 1, 2015, as the new compliance date for health care providers and health plans to transition to ICD-10. ICD-10 represents a significant code set change that impacts the entire health care community.

The Transition:

·         Understand the Impact

·         Identify the Team

·         Prepare a Budget and Forecast

·         Arrange for Training and Education

·         Incorporating more detail in clinical documentation is an important

step in your ICD-10 transition.

ICD-9 vs.ICD-10

Chest Pain (ICD-9-CM 786.50 to 786.59 range)

ICD-10-CM Codes
R07.1	Chest pain on breathing
R07.2	Precordial pain
R07.81	Pleurodynia
R07.82	Intercostal pain
R07.89	Other chest pain
R07.9*	Chest pain, unspecified
*Codes with a greater degree of specificity should be considered first.   Completeness of documentation   While there are many different ways to document all the required information, and tools like tailored EHR templates and computer assisted coding (CAC) programs can help construct a complete and detailed record, physicians must be trained to be as thorough as humanly possible when they’re composing notes.  Since ICD-10 takes into account more variables than the current code set, physicians are better off writing down more information than less.   “ICD-10 will not affect the way you provide patient care,” CMS reminds physicians. “It will just be important to make your documentation as detailed as possible since ICD-10 gives more specific choices for coding diagnoses. This information is likely already being shared by the patient during your visit—it’s just a matter of recording it for your coding staff. Good documentation will also help reduce the need to follow-up on submitted claims—saving you time and money.”

ICD - 10 and Mental Health

Understanding ICD-10-CM and DSM-5:  A Guide for Psychiatrists and Other Mental Health Clinicians

On July 31st, 2014, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a rule finalizing Oct. 1, 2015 as the new compliance date for health care providers, health plans, and health care clearinghouses to transition to ICD-10, the tenth revision of the International Classification of Diseases. This deadline allows providers, insurance companies and others in the health care industry time to ramp up their operations to ensure their systems and business processes are ready to go on Oct. 1, 2015.

Mental and behavioral Health coding in ICD-9 vs. ICD-10

 

Efforts to harmonize ICD-9 and DSM-IV codes currently in use have resulted in classification systems with similar (often identical) codes

•The structure and coding for the mental and behavioral disorders classification in ICD-10-CM are different from those of the ICD-9-CM and the DSM-IV.

•The broad categories of mental and behavioral disorders are much the same, but the new arrangement of categories and alphanumeric codes will be different from ICD-9 and the DSM-IV codes.

–For instance, major depressive disorder, single episode is coded as 296.2 in both DSM-IV and ICD-9-CM but is coded as F32 in the current version of ICD-10-CM.

 

The differences between ICD-9 and 10

 

•Differences between the code sets make ICD-10 look like an entirely different coding language

 

•Main differences include:

–Volume

–Structure

–New features

 

The ICD-10 Mandate

 

•The ICD-10 implementation is scheduled for Oct. 1, 2015. On claims with that date of service, all HIPAA-covered health care entities must begin using ICD-10 codes in place of the ICD-9 codes

 

•Claims with non-compliant codes will be rejected

 

•Delivered in two parts – ICD-10-CM (for all providers in all health care settings) and ICD-10-PCS (for hospital claims and inpatient hospital procedures

•Does not affect CPT or HCPCS codes and usage

ICD-10 Internal Medicine Reference

Internal Medicine References

Specifying anatomical location and laterality required by ICD-10 is easier than you think. This detail reflects how physicians and clinicians communicate and to what they pay attention - it is a matter of ensuring the information is captured in your documentation.

In ICD-10-CM, there are three main categories of changes:

·         Definition Changes

·         Terminology differences

·         Increased specificity

 

Definition Change

 

When documenting an AMI, keep the following in mind:

 

Timeframe an AMI is now considered “acute” for 4 weeks from the time of the incident.

Episode of care ICD-10 does not capture episode of care (e.g. initial, subsequent, sequelae).

Subsequent AMI ICD-10 allows coding of a new MI that occurs during the 4 week “acute period” of the original AMI.

 

ICD-10 Code Examples
I21.02	ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction involving left anterior descending coronary artery
I21.4	Non-ST elevation (NSTEMI) myocardial infarction
I22.1	Subsequent ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction

 

On July 31, HHS issued a rule (CMS-0043-F) finalizing October 1, 2015, as the new compliance date for health care providers and health plans to transition to ICD-10. ICD-10 represents a significant code set change that impacts the entire health care community.

Key Questions:

Are you ready for the changes ?

Do you understand the new guidelines ?

Is your staff prepared for this transition?

The transition to ICD-10 is required for everyone covered by the Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act (HIPAA). Please note, the change to ICD-10 does not affect CPT coding for outpatient procedures and physician services.

 

The Soulution:

AccuChecker, an online resource built with the help of providers in small practices, is now available. This tool is intended to help small medical practices jumpstart their ICD-10 transition.

ICD-10 The 3 in 1 Solution

On July 31, HHS issued a rule (CMS-0043-F) finalizing October 1, 2015, as the new compliance date for health care providers and health plans to transition to ICD-10. ICD-10 represents a significant code set change that impacts the entire health care community.

The 3 in 1 Solution to ICD-10-CM and P4P Measures

Here is what motivated us to bundle ICD-10-CM and the two P4P Reference Systems (the ACK-HEDIS Module & the ACK- PQRS Modules) into a practical solution that costs less than $1.00 per day.

 The next three to five years will be crucial for physicians, ICD10 starts next year and there is a transition from the fee-for-service alternative to physicians getting paid by their performance.

 

The implementation and daily use of EMR systems, reporting Pay-for-Performance measures like HEDIS and PQRS, coding diagnoses with ICD10 plus the need to incorporate Category II procedures into the reimbursement cycle demands a bigger involvement of physicians and office staff coding and documenting services in the practice.

 

Consequently the need for physician’s practices of outsourcing billing to professional billers will increase because coding and documenting services will consume the majority of time available to the office staff.

 

What the online bundled software applications consist of:

·         ICD-10-CM a comprehensive, fast and state of the art system with all bells and whittles that reads like a book.

·         An ICD-10-CM that also works like ICD-9-CM, it means that if you start using it now, whenever ICD10 begins you are proficient with the new coding system.

·         ACK HEDIS MODULE – the perfect tool for physicians offices that have  agreements with managed care organizations servicing Medicaid, Medicare and/or Commercial panels needed for coding and handling HEDIS measures

·         ACK PQRS MODULE- the application for physicians with a Medicare population needed for coding and handling PQRS measures

·         FREE HOT-LINE Support and FREE On-Line Training

 

3 in 1 Combo Price $299

Monthly $29.95

ICD - 10 SPECIAL

[BREAKING] – Final Rule

On October 1, 2015, a key element of the data foundation of the United States’ health care system will undergo a major transformation. We will transition from the decades-old Ninth Edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9) set of diagnosis and inpatient procedure codes, to the far more contemporary Tenth Edition of those code sets—or ICD-10—used by most developed countries throughout the world.

This transition will have a major impact on anyone who uses health care information that contains a diagnosis and/or inpatient procedure code

Accordingly, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services expects to release an interim final rule in the near future that will include a new compliance date that would require the use of ICD-10 beginning October 1, 2015. The rule will also require HIPAA covered entities to continue to use ICD-9-CM through September 30, 2015.
