  2. Some Statistics • October 1, 2014 – ICD-10 Day • US is the only country using ICD-9 today

  3. What is the Difference? ICD-10 codes contain greater detail and many codes have laterality as part of the code description in addition to the type of encounter. Example: S61.142A denotes a puncture wound with foreign body of left thumb with damage to nail, initial encounter. (The “A” denotes an initial encounter.)

  4. How Do We Choose? • No practice will use all 68,000 • General Equivalency Mappings (GEMS) are available to perform ‘crosswalks’ to see the coding structure differences • Codes still need to be selected using the Index and Tabular lists. • Coders may need additional training in terminologyand/or anatomy for accuracy

  5. Sounds Like a lot of Work • Short answer: YES • Overall increase in documentation, resulting in: • More time required • Fewer patients seen • Additional payer interaction to verify appropriate, billable codes
