ICD-10 Background • January 16, 2009, the Federal Government issued a new HIPAA rule requiring the adoption of ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes and ICD-10-PCS procedure codes for all dates of service on or after October 1, 2013. • April 9, 2012, the Office of the Secretary, HHS (Health and Human Services) proposed a rule to change the ICD-10 compliance date to October 1, 2014. • Compliance with 5010 is necessary prior to implementing ICD-10.
What is ICD-10? • A coding system for: • Diagnosis ICD-10-CM • Procedures ICD-10-PCS • Affects: • All Providers in every healthcare setting (Diagnosis) • Inpatient Hospitals (Procedure Codes) • It is NOT CPT or HCPCS • It Replaces, and is much more Granular than ICD-9 • Compliance Date: Oct 1, 2014
Single Implementation Date for all Users September 30 October 1 English German (AND English)
Why Move To ICD-10? More precise Better Quality of Care ICD-9 is 25 years old Better Fraud Detection Population Health Analysis Greater Accuracy in Reimbursements

Understanding the Global Impact of ICD-10 • THIS IS A BUSINESS ISSUE WITH LARGE IMPACTS • Impacts Include Many Entities: • Providers, payers, vendors, employers, schools, agents • Members/patients, business associates/trading partners • Workers’ compensation, state agencies • Transplant/disease registries, etc.
ICD-10 Timeline • Analyze the impact ICD-10 will have on your practice • Review payer contract for diagnosis • Talk with vendors regarding upgrades for ICD-10 • Maintain dual codebases for ICD-9 and ICD-10 for approximately 2 years. • Schedule software upgrades • Monitor payer alerts and readiness. • Prepare for testing with payers and/or clearinghouse. Beyond 2013 • ASAP 2014 ASAP • Budgeting for ICD-10 impacts such as, system upgrades and training • Coder/biller training • Review practice • readiness
Care Flow Assessment Treatment Documentation Documentation Coding Claim Submission
Major Provider Impacts 77% Indicate Top Challenge • Clinical Documentation • Practitioners! • Coding • Business Processes • Superbills / Day Sheets • PM/HIS/EHR Systems • Medical Policies • Contracting • Staffing / Staff Training • Denials, Audits, Revenue Disruption • Need Generous Lines of Credit For Physicians • Physicians deal with diagnosis not codes • Learn new ICD-10 codes • Learn how to use an index • Create a new job aid or superbill (Professional Providers get paid on CPT code not DRG)
Preparing for ICD-10 Provider Focus • Identify the Needs and Action Plans for the Transition • Education and resources • Information Systems inventory and gap analysis • Vendor preparation • Documentation improvement • Financial impact and payer preparation • AHIMA Published a Checklist About Preparing for ICD-10: http://www.ahima.org/downloads/pdfs/resources/checklist.pdf
ICD-10 Project Plan • Phase 1 Implementation Plan Development and Impact Assessment • Phase 2 Risk Mitigation and Implementation Preparation • Phase 3 “Go Live” Preparation • Phase 4 Post-implementation Follow Up
Industry Readiness • The Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange (WEDI) conducted an industry ICD-10 readiness survey in February 2012 – • Results showed that health care entities were falling behind recommended timelines for implementing ICD-10 code sets by 10/1/13. • Responses indicated some progress had been made, but not keeping up with milestones. • Industry is falling behind • New proposed rule to implement ICD-10 on October 1, 2014 instead of 2013. • WEDI sent out a new survey in January 2013
