The Need to Classify Disease and Cause of Death William Farr
What is ICD-10 • International Classification of Diseases • Developed by the World Health Organization, may be modified by country to fit their specific needs • It’s how we classify and record symptoms, diseases, diagnoses and procedures. • The U.S. has been using ICD-9 for 30 years 4
ICD 10 vs. ICD modifications Some 25 countries use ICD-10 for reimbursement and resource allocation in their health system. A few of them made modifications to ICD to better accommodate this use of ICD-10. The unchanged international version of ICD-10 is used in about 110 countries for cause of death reporting and statistics. 5
What Happened Next • Many countries began using ICD 10 in 1994for morbidity data • WHO allowed countries to modify with approval • Australia (ICD 10-AM) • Thailand (ICD 10-TM) • Canada (ICD 10-CA) • US (ICD 10-CM) 6
Three Lessons Learned from Canada • Planning and preparation are keys to success • Education is a must • Network and reach out to others to learn form their experiences 8
Australian Learnings • The Australians love ICD-10. • Medical coders were back to old output rates (That's Australian for productivity) in three months. • Education is key. They started training everyone 18 months from the deadline. • Anticipating problem areas is also important. • It's expensive. Australian vendors are capitalists too. • Australian providers still are adjusting their billing becauseof what they're learning from their ICD-10 data. 9
Moving from ICD-9 to ICD-10 • Government mandate • Far more expansive and precise • Will provide more specific identification of diagnoses and procedures 10
Benefits • Quality • Patient/Community health • Research • Healthcare reform • Enhanced reimbursement 11
Abuse Patterns High Priority • Tobacco abuse • I-10 classifies use of tobacco as: • nicotine dependence (F17) • use not otherwise specified (Z72.0) • personal history of tobacco dependence (Z87.891) • Nicotine dependence • Type of tobacco • cigarettes • chewing tobacco • other (e.g., pipe, cigars) • Presence of complications, if any: • uncomplicated • in remission • with withdrawal • with other or unspecified nicotine induced disorders • No I-10 index entry for “abuse, tobacco” or “abuse, nicotine.” Main term “use” and subterm “tobacco” must be referenced to obtain Z72.0, tobacco use 12
ICD-10-CM • CM = Clinical Modification • Classify diseases and injuries • Each country has its own 2 letters after ICD • Based on World Health Organization • Most commonly 4 characters but can be as many as 7 13
ICD-10-CM Codeshave 3 to 7 digits • Most commonly 4 character • First 3 digits = category • Then etiology, anatomic site, severity • Can be up to 7 digits long 7 G S 2 3 2 1 14

Behavioral Health • Mental and Behavioral Disorders • Anxiety can be further specified as generalized, mixed, other (anxiety depression, anxiety hysteria, or panic disorder without agoraphobia • Dementia requires specificity regarding type: degenerative, primary, old age, persisting, senile, vascular, etc., and also cause (if applicable) 18
ICD-10-PCS • PCS = Procedural Coding System • Only used in USA, not from WHO • Solely for inpatient procedures • Outpatient procedures continue using CPT • Completely new system - once coders learn it, should be easier • All codes have 7 digits – each position has a purpose 19
ICD-10-PCS all codes have 7 digits • Section • Body system • Root operation • Body part • Approach • Device (if one left in) • Qualifier which shows additional attributes. 20

Physician/RAC New Activity The MAC, Recovery Auditor, and ZPIC have the discretion to deny other related claims submitted before or after the claim in question. If documentation associated with one claim can be used to validate another claim, those claims may be considered “related.” Claims may be “related” in the following EXAMPLE situations: An inpatient claim and associated documentation is reviewed and determined to be not reasonable and necessary and therefore the physician claim can be determined to be not reasonable and necessary. A diagnostic test claim and associated documentationis reviewed and determined to be not reasonable and necessary and therefore the professional componentcan be determined to be not reasonable and necessary. 24
