Objectives

• Provide background information to help build a transitional plan

• Determine methods for providing education

• Identify important similarities and differences between ICD‐9‐CM and ICD‐10‐CM/PCS

• Pinpoint key focus areas for education

Setting the Stage

New code sets scheduled for implementation 10/1/14

Coding means changing clinical terminology to coded data

provides a picture of the patient’s condition

demonstrates that evidence‐based care plans were followed

used for quality reporting and payment 

identifies patterns that are helpful for planning  ‐ for instance, resource use by demographics; resource use by condition

Partial Code Freeze: ICD‐10‐CM remains draft

Applicable to all entities that now use ICD‐9‐CM

ICD‐10‐CM for diagnoses in all settings

ICD‐10‐CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting: Section IV. Diagnostic Coding and Reporting Guidelines for Outpatient Services

Setting the Stage

Dual Reporting

All services that are provided through 9/30/14 will be reported with ICD‐9‐CM

Will require knowledge of both code sets to process claims past 10/1/14

Some payers will continue to use ICD‐9‐CM

Affects or requires:

All systems that currently hold ICD‐9‐CM data

Changes to physician documentation ‐ consider physician office practice and needs of hospital (for MDs w/privileges)  Queries, templates

Coverage policies and/or payer communication (denial mgt)

Charge capture processes

5

Getting Started: Considerations for Developing a Plan

Plan for the future, not just up to the implementation date

Evaluate needs two years past implementation

Identify the staff’s current interaction with ICD‐9‐CM

Ascertain staff skill set 

Discover baseline skill sets and core deficiencies

Detect similarities and differences among staff

Across job functions

Within job functions

6

Getting Started: Considerations for Developing a Plan

Determine where positions will be redefined 

Need for cross‐training 

Workflow changes

Understand the results of inadequate knowledge or ineffectual preparation

Internal training

Vendor readiness

Payer readiness

Preparing for Education – Recognize Learning Styles (structured, social, auditory, visual, interactive)

Engage and Understand!  Reduce Anxiety

Adult learners: build on experience, learn by doing, want to know why

Generational differences ‐ Traditionalists (1900‐1945), Baby Boomers 

(1946‐1964), Generation X (1965‐1980), Millenials (1981‐2000)

Objective (one way) ‐ Reading an article, lecture, webinar, computer‐

aided learning, symposium

Subjective (two way) ‐ Group discussion, role playing, problem 

solving, case studies

Be thoughtful about timing 

Revise & train on changes to charge capture forms, contracts, policies – consider collaborative arrangements

Assess payer readiness & model revenue impact according to plan

Implement aggressive retention & recruitment efforts or plan for outsourcing

Implement communication plans – engage employees

Understand perceptions

About ICD‐10‐CM and ICD‐10‐PCS

ICD‐10 used internationally ‐ United Kingdom (1995), France (1997), Australia (1998), Belgium (1999), Germany (2000), and Canada (2001)

ICD‐10‐CM (clinical modification) used for diagnosis coding in any setting

Introduction of 68,000+ new diagnosis codes

ICD‐10‐PCS (procedural coding system) used to report hospital  inpatient procedures

CPT will still be used to report outpatient procedures/services

12

Comparison of Coding Systems – Outpatient Similarities

Outpatient Similarities– Code what is known at time of encounter

– Signs/symptoms/other circumstances

– Can use radiology interpretation

– Encounter for therapy, report condition as secondary dx

– NEC, NOS, punctuation

– Coding process – alphabetic index and tabular list

Comparison of Coding Systems ‐ Differences

Differences Alpha numeric, for example, an ICD‐9‐CM code might read 

250.50 but an ICD‐10‐CM code would read as E11.52 3‐7 characters versus 3‐5  (many to one ratio) ‐Categories 3 

characters, subcategories 4‐5 characters) Laterality, complications, placeholder of X for future expansion

7th character can be alpha or numeric, example: initial, subsequent with complication or sequela.

Understanding ICD‐10‐CM Coding

Read the ICD‐10‐CM Draft Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting

Section I.  Conventions, general coding guidelines and chapter specific Guidelines

Section II.  Selection of Principles Diagnosis

Uniform Hospital Discharge Data Set (UHDDS) used by hospitals to report inpatient data

Section III.  Reporting Additional Diagnoses

Section IV.  Diagnostic Coding and Reporting Guidelines for Outpatient Services

Part of the Introduction…

These guidelines are a set of rules that have been developed to accompany and complement the official conventions and instructions provided within the ICD‐10‐CM itself.

Adherence to these guidelines when assigning ICD‐10‐CM diagnosis codes is required under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The diagnosis codes (Tabular List and Alphabetic Index) have been adopted under HIPAA for all healthcare settings.

• continued

Part of the Introduction……

A joint effort between the healthcare provider and the coder is essential to achieve complete and accurate documentation, code assignment, and reporting of diagnoses and procedures. These guidelines have been developed to assist both the healthcare provider and the coder in identifying those diagnoses and procedures that are to be reported. The importance of consistent, complete documentation in the medical record cannot be overemphasized. Without such documentation accurate coding cannot be achieved. The entire record should be reviewed to determine the specific reason for the encounter and the conditions treated.
