  1. ICD-10 Provider Readiness Survey Results, November 2012

  2. contents • purpose • demographic of respondents • demographic of specialty type • key findings & recommendations • next steps • survey highlights by provider type

  3. purpose In 2012 from mid-November to mid-December, an ICD-10 Provider Readiness Survey was sent out to Blue Shield of California’s (Blue Shield’s) physician and provider network to assess key indicators for ICD-10 adoption on October 1, 2014. Survey findings from 2012 yielded two key themes which we will outline in further detail in subsequent slides. They are: Providers reliance on practice management systems to select ICD-10 codes. Providers’ concern regarding ICD-9 to ICD-10 translation or mapping, versus their ability to send a compliant claim

  4. survey response demographics: provider type *Fax & postal mail outreach results were excluded, due to a .5% response rate.

  5. survey response demographics: specialty type

  6. survey results findings- electronic medical records (eMR) • Of the PPO providers who responded: • Providers are relying heavily on the functionality of the practice management system to aid in transitioning medical records to ICD-10 coding. Blue Shield’s recommendations • We recommend that in addition to using practice management systems for electronic medical/health records, that you make a separate effort to educate, train, and certify your coding/billing staff. Or, verify that your billing service is planning to have their staff certified in ICD-10 CM and PCS code sets. • We also recommend assessing your coding/billing staff’s competency in ICD-9 Clinical Modification (CM)to learn how to tailor the ICD-10 CM training plan as a best practice. Since the ICD-10 Procedure Coding System is new, training and review of all associated medical policies is also strongly recommended.

  7. survey results findings- ICD-9 to ICD-10 mapping • Of the PPO providers who responded: • Providers are more concerned with ICD-9 to ICD-10 mapping and translation tools versus their ability to send a compliant claim. Blue Shield’s recommendations • We encourage you to participate in testing opportunities, when possible. • If your practice/facility is unable to test directly with Blue Shield, we also recommend that you consider joining the ICD-10 California Collaborative. Their aims is to bring stakeholders in the healthcare together to address ICD-10 related challenges and to develop best practices for communication/outreach, education/training, and testing.

  8. provider survey next steps • Work with specialty professional associations to reach out to providers listed in the demographic section (slides 4-5) to encourage and increase survey responses. • Blue Shield of California is a founding member and holds leadership roles within the CA ICD-10 Collaborative, which aims to bring stakeholders in the healthcare together to address ICD-10 related challenges and to develop best practices for communication/outreach, education/training, and testing. • Next Survey May 2013
