OBJECTIVES
• Participants will identify:– Dates for New ICD-10– Documentation support– New terms encounter principal diagnosis re-
defined– Some general coding guidelines– Will identify the Federal requirements re: ICD-9
changes for this year and coding accuracy.
3
ICD—10 “HAS TWO PARTS”
• ICD-10 CM = Clinical Modification• ICD-10 PCS = Procedural Code System
(used for procedures, operations within the hospital inpatient setting i.e., acute hospital)
4
FINAL REGULATION
• January 15, 2009 Final Regulation Released
• EXCHANGE the ICD-9 for the ICD-10 by October, 1, 2013
• ICD-10 for billing purposes as far as ability to accept the code known as “5010” is required by October 2011
5
HIPAA
• Assigning ICD-10 diagnosis codes is required under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
• HIPAA had three parts HIPAA – 1996, HIPAA-II – HITECH we call it – relates to security and breaches
• HIPAA Transactions 5010 • ICD-10 Code Set
6
WHO IS AFFECTED??
• All inpatient and outpatient facility visits as well as freestanding providers and ancillary services “that means all of us really” who provide services and bill for them under Medicare, MediCal and private insurances. Current Procedural
• Terminology (CPT) is still used for the Physician and some services, but they must have a diagnosis that is ICD-10 Complaint
7
KEY HIGHLIGHTS -2
• Healthcare Common Procedural Coding system (HCPCS Level II) remains the same for outpatient reporting for procedures and services.
• ICD-10 code set, general acute care inpatient reimbursement for Medicare patients will be based on Medicare severity-based diagnosis related groups (MS-DRGs) using ICD-10 – CM – PCS (for those who have procedures).
8
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??
• The guidelines in the ICD-10 manual developed for the provider and the coder….(person who may review the documentation and determine if code is accurate.
• Consistent, complete documentation in the medical record is a major emphasis.
9
KEY HIGHLIGHTS -3
• ICD-10 CM/PCS – Increased level of detail required for medicine advancements in technology, $$, improved data quality for clinical and financial decision making, to support value based purchasing and facilitate quality reporting.
• Mapping from ICD-9 to 10 tools are available and will be used by DCTSS.
• Called or “GEMS” – general equivalence mappings.
10
ICD-9-CM DIAGNOSIS CODES
• 3-5 characters in length• Approximately 14,000 codes• First digit may be alpha (E or V) or numeric• Digits 2-5 are numeric• Always at least three digits• Decimal placed after the first three
characters• Limited space for new codes
11
ICD-9-CM DIAGNOSIS CODES -2
• Lacks detail• Lacks laterality Difficult to analyze dated
due to non-specific and do not adequately define diagnoses needed for medical research
• Does not support interoperability because it is not used in other countries.
12
ICD-10 STRUCTURE
• Index and Tabular list similar to ICD-9• ICD-10 index larger, Categories,
subcategories and codes are contacted in the tabular list.
13
ICD-10 CM STRUCTURE -2
• Requires “use” of proper coding guidelines– Enter website here www._________.com (for
CMS codes for ICD 10)– Relies on the use of the guidelines and in our
case Skilled/ICF rules (more on this subject later during full training)
– ICD-10 CM Index – disease and injury and external causes of injury
14
ICD-10-CM DIAGNOSIS CODES – FORMAT & STRUCTURE
• 3-7 characters in length• Approximately 68,000 codes• Digit 1 is alpha, digit 2 and 3 are numeric;
digit 4-7 are alpha or numeric• Decimal placed after the first 3 characters• All letters used except “U”• Flexible for adding new codes• Very specific• Has laterality
15
ICD-10 CM STRUCTURE -3
• Former V=codes are now Z=codes and in Z=codes and in Chapter 21. Factors Influencing Health Chapter 21. Factors Influencing Health Status and Contact with Health Status and Contact with Health Services (NEW)…Services (NEW)…
16
CONVENTIONS FOR THE ICD-10-CM
• General rules for use of the classification independent of the guidelines– Alphabetic Index and Tabular List
• Alphabetic Index – List of terms and their corresponding code
• Tabular List – chronological list of codes divided into chapters based on body system/condition
17
CONVENTIONS FOR THE ICD-10-CM -2
• General rules for use of the classification independent of the guidelines– Format and Structure
• Three character category that has no further subdivision is equivalent to a code
• Subcategories are either 4 or 5 characters• Codes may be 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 characters
18
CONVENTIONS FOR THE ICD-10-CM -3
• General rules for use of the classification independent of the guidelines– 7th Characters
• Certain ICD-10-Cm categories have applicable 7th characters
• Required for all codes within the category or as instructed by the notes in the Tabular List
• Must always be the 7th character in the data field• If a code that requires a7th character is not 6
characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters
19
ICD-10-CM DIAGNOSIS CODES-2
• Specificity improves coding accuracy and depth of data for analysis
• Detail improves the accuracy of data used in medical research
• Supports interoperability and the exchange of health care data between other countries and the U.S.
20
CODE STRUCTURE OF ICD-10
• ICD-10 Codes may consist of up to 7 digits, with the 7th digit extensions representing visit encounter or sequel for injuries or external causes.
21
CODE FORMAT
• ICD-10 Code Format
ICD-9-CM Code Format ICD-10-CM Code Format
22
GEM FILES
• Before we go further- do not despair…you vendor should prepare as much crosswalk as possible. There are “GEMS” files.
• General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) – translation dictionary for diagnoses
• We will talk about those later and how to use them.. Key to early review!!!
• Your vendor will most likely provide
23
ICD-10 AND ICD-9 DIFFER
• Organization• Structure, • Code composition,• Level of detail• May consist of up to 7 digits with the
seventh digit extensions representing visit encounter or sequel as stated above.
24
ICD-10 AND ICD-9 DIFFER

billing most likely)!!– I10, Essential Primary Hypertension
51
ICD-10 NEW FEATURES -3
• An example S42.321A. Displaced transverse fracture of shaft of humerus, right arm, initial encounter for closed fracture.
• This means more specific documentation from the physician (the initial encounter may not have been in your setting).
52
CHAPTER 18
• Symptoms, Signs and Abnormal Clinical and Laboratory Findings, Not Elsewhere Classified (R00-R99)
53
REPEATED FALLS
• Code R29.6 Repeated falls for use for encounters when a patient has recently fallen and the reason for the fall is being investigated. Code Z91.81, History of falling, is for use when a patient has fallen in the past is at risk for future falls. Both codes may be assigned
54
CODING OF TRAUMATIC FRACTURES
• Fractures of specified sites are coded individually by site..S-codes…need to pay attention to level of detail furnished by medical record content.
• Fracture not indicated as open or closed, displaced, initial vs. subsequent encounter for fractures. (use 7th character extension for initial encounter (A.B.C) There are specific instructions related to this area. (#18)
55
FRACTURES
• Multiple fractures are sequenced based on the severity of the fracture.
56
AFTERCARE
• Visit codes cover situations when the initial treatment of a disease has been performed and the patient requires continued care during the healing or recovery phase or the long term consequences of the disease
• Z code should not be used if treatment is directed at a current acute disease
57
AFTERCARE
• Exceptions– First listed, followed by the diagnosis code
when a patient’s encounter is solely to receive radiation therapy
58
PRINCIPAL DIAGNOSIS
• Hospital Discharge Data Set (UHDDS) defines as that condition established after study to be chiefly responsible for occasioning the admission of the patient to the hospital for care
59
PRINCIPAL DIAGNOSIS -2
• Codes for symptoms, signs, and ill-defined conditions – NOT to be used as a principal diagnosis when definitive diagnosis has been established.
60
PRINCIPAL DIAGNOSIS -3
• Two or more interrelated conditions with either one meeting the definition– Such as diseases in the same ICD-10-CM or
manifestations characteristically associated with a certain disease) potentially meeting the definition of principal diagnosis, either condition may be sequenced first, unless the circumstances of the admission, the therapy provided, the Tabular List, or the Alphabetic Index indicate otherwise
61
PRINCIPAL DIAGNOSIS -4
• Two or more interrelated conditions equally meeting the definition– Determined by the circumstances of
admission, diagnostic workup and/or therapy provided, and the Alphabetic Index, Tabular List, or another coding guidelines does not provide sequencing direction, any one of the diagnoses may be sequenced first
62
PRINCIPAL DIAGNOSIS -5
• Two or more comparative or contrasting condition– Coded as if the diagnoses were confirmed and
the diagnoses are sequenced according to the circumstances of the admission
– Either diagnosis may be sequenced first
• Symptom(s) followed by contrasting/comparative diagnoses– Code is sequenced first
63
PRINCIPAL DIAGNOSIS -6
• Complications of surgery and other medical care– Is sequenced as the principal diagnosis
• Uncertain Diagnosis– “probable”, “suspected”, “likely”, “questionable”,
“possible”, or “still to be ruled out”, or other similar terms indicating uncertainty, code the condition as if it existed/established
– Applicable only to inpatient admissions to short-term, acute, long-term care & psychiatric hospitals
64
CHAPTER 21 –Z CODES
• Factors Influencing Health Status and Contact With Health Services
• Vaccinations
65
IN FOCUS FOR ACCURACY OF CODING
66
ICD-9 CODE CHANGES AND MORE ON CODING ACCURACY
• Contact AHIS for a specialized Webinar on ICD09 Coding Accuracy and Updates
67
REQUIREMENTS
• Official coding guidelines require the use of V codes for aftercare and specify that applicable aftercare V-codes are to be used for conditions requiring continued / long term care or healing phase of a condition/disease.
68
REQUIREMENTS -2
• The official coding guidelines are developed by CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) & NCHS (National Center for Health Statistics) and updated in October and April of every year. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/icd9/icdguide10.pdf
69
CMS MANUAL SYSTEM TRANSMITTAL 437
• Principal Diagnosis Code - SNFs enter the ICD-9-CM code for the principal diagnosis in FL 67. The code must be reported according to Official ICD-9-CM Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, as required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), including any applicable guidelines regarding the use of V codes. The code must be the full ICD-9-CM diagnosis code, including all five digits where applicable.
70
CMS MANUAL SYSTEM TRANSMITTAL 437 -2
• Other Diagnosis Codes Required – The SNF enters the full ICD-9-CM codes for up to eight additional conditions in FLs 68-75. Medicare does not have any additional requirements regarding the reporting or sequence of the codes beyond those contained in the ICD-9-CM guidelines.
71
30 – BILLING SNF PPS SERVICES
• (REV. 2011, ISSUED: 07-30-10, EFFECTIVE: 01-01-11, IMPLEMENTATION: 01-03-11)
• Principal Diagnosis Code - SNFs enter the ICD-CM code for the principal diagnosis in the appropriate form locator. The code must be reported according to Official ICD-CM Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, as required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), including any applicable guidelines regarding the use of V codes. The code must be the full ICD-CM diagnosis code, including all five digits where applicable.
72
30 – BILLING SNF PPS SERVICES -2
• Other Diagnosis Codes Required – The SNF enters the full ICD-CM codes for up to eight additional conditions in the appropriate form locator. Medicare does not have any additional requirements regarding the reporting or sequence of the codes beyond those contained in the ICD-CM guidelines.
73
WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU
• The Principal diagnosis can no longer be an acute diagnosis and it may be a V-CODE
• 800.XX codes for fractures are NO LONGER used
74
DEFINITION OF PRINCIPAL DIAGNOSIS
• “FIRST LISTED DIAGNOSES” is the diagnosis that is chiefly responsible for the admissions to, continued residence in the nursing facility and the diagnosis that support the reimbursement and should be sequenced first.”
• Medicare – To be covered the extended services must be for the treatment of a condition for which the resident received inpatient hospital services during the 3-day qualifying stay
75
TYPE OF CODES USED IN LTC
• Aftercare – used when the initial treatment of a disease or injury has been performed and the patients still requires continued care to heal or recover.
• Late Effects – a late effect is a residual condition that remains and requires medical evaluation, rehab treatments and/or nursing care after the initial illness or injury.
76
WHAT TO CODE?
ALL CONDITIONS THAT EXIST AT THE TIME OF ADMISSION, THAT EFFECT
TREATMENT RECEIVED
77
LOCATING THE PRINCIPAL DIAGNOSIS
78
ADMISSIONS/ENCOUNTERS FOR REHABILITATION
• When the purpose for the admission/encounter is rehabilitation, sequence the appropriate V code from category V57, Care involving use of rehabilitation procedures, as the principal/first-listed diagnosis. The code for the condition for which the service is being performed should be reported as an additional diagnosis.
79
V57 – CARE INVOLVING REHAB
• Category V57 does not indicate that rehab services were provided, only that the resident was admitted for this purpose
80
AFTERCARE
• Aftercare are used when the initial treatment has been performed but the patient continues to need care during the healing / recovery phase
• Examples: – Aftercare following surgery – Physical and/or occupational therapy – Aftercare for healing traumatic fracture
