MASTER THE CODE AN INTRODUCTION TO ICD-10 CODING FOR THE
EARLY INTERVENTION POPULATION
GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEMS)
ü Convert ICD-9 to ICD-10 codes (Backward map ICD-10 to ICD-9)
ü GEMS are limited and not reliable as a Coding Tool Warning: The GEMS tool is not a substitute for learning and Coding from documentation

OBJECTIVES
Understand the difference between ICD-9 and ICD-10
Understand Coding Families, Characters, and Symbols
Understand Coding Terminology and Rules
OBJECTIVES
Understand the Fundamentals of Diagnosis Selection
Understand Diagnosis Coding as it relates to EI Assessment
Learn Coding strategies relevant to the Birth to Three Population

WHAT HAS CHANGED?
ICD-9
• 14,000 codes • Codes are 3-5 Characters • 1st character is Numeric or Alpha • Characters 2-5 are numeric • Decimal occurs after 3rd character • No laterality • No place holder
ICD-10
• Over 69,000 codes • Codes are 3-7 Characters • 1st Character is always Alpha • Second Character is always
Numeric • Characters 3-7 may be Alpha or
Numeric • Decimal occurs after 3rd character • Laterality of side affected must be
coded • Place holder may be used
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT TO SWITCHING?
ICD-10 CODING Provides more
Specific Coding
Better sensitivity for Reimbursement Methodology
Measuring the quality, efficacy,
and safety of care for Public Health
Monitoring
Allows for Detailing a Clinical Case for
Therapy Reimbursement

WHAT IS OUR GUIDE?
• ICD-10 CM • Stands for Clinical
Modification • Covers Out-Patient
services • What will we use in
EI
• ICD-10 PCS • Stands for
Procedure Coding System • Covers In-patient
Claims only
CONVERTING ICD-9 TO ICD-10
CMS – For 12 months after ICD-10 implementation, if a valid ICD-10 code from the right family is submitted, Medicare/Medicaid will process & not audit valid ICD-10 code. Commercial Payors - have to determine whether they will offer similar audit flexibilities ICD-10 Information from the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) “Services should be billed using the most appropriate diagnosis code(s) for the reason of the service being provided.”

Used in Chapter 19 which covers injuries and other consequences of external cause such as burns, fractures, and traumatic brain injury
Allows for coding to the highest level of specificity
7TH CHARACTER
7TH CODING CHARACTERS
“A” – Initial encounter (not likely in EI)
“D” – Subsequent encounter (visit after physician during healing phase)
“S” – Sequelae (complications that arise as a direct result of a condition).
Code Sequelae condition followed by Injury Code. The injury code contains the S in the 7th character place.
Ex. R26.1 Spastic Gait
√5G81.11 Spastic hemiparesis affecting right dominant side
√7T74.4XXS Shaken Infant Syndrome
10/22/15

EXTERNAL CAUSES OF MORBIDITY
Chapter 20 lists Codes that describe the CAUSE of the injury and require 7 characters: Ø Pedestrian hit by collision with car, pick up, or van (Child hit by a car) Ø Fall into Swimming Pool – (accidental drownings) Ø Contact with Hot tap water – (accidental burns) Ø Child abuse, neglect or other maltreatment
10/22/15

CODING SYMBOLS WHEN YOU SEE A DASH FOLLOW A CODE IN THE ALPHABETICAL LISTING, IT MEANS THAT MORE SPECIFICITY IS REQUIRED.
Ex. Pervasive Developmental Disorder F84.0-√
GO TO THE TABULAR SECTION: √4 F84. Pervasive Developmental Disorders Note: Use additional codes to identify associated medical conditions and intellectual disabilities.
F84.0 Autistic Disorder F84.2 Rett’s Syndrome F84.3 Other Childhood Disintegrative Disorder F84.5 Asperger’s Syndrome F84.8 Other Pervasive Developmental Disorders
Overactive Disorder associated with intellectual disabilities and stereotyped movements
CODING TERMINOLOGY
EXCLUDES 1: Means the Code excluded should never be used with the code above. The two conditions cannot occur together. Ex. F81.9 Specific Developmental Disorder of Motor Function
Excludes 1: Abnormality of gait and mobility(R26.-) Lack of Coordination (R27.-)
10/22/15
10
CODING TERMINOLOGY
EXCLUDES 2 Indicates that the condition excluded (listed) is not part of the condition coded above and the patient may have both conditions at the same time. The two codes may be used together. Ex. F80.1 Mixed Receptive-Expressive Language Disorder Excludes 2: Pervasive Developmental Disorders (F84.-)
CODING RULES (N
• Use Specificity First if you have documentation
• When sufficient clinical information isn’t known or available about a condition, it is acceptable to use the “Unspecified” or “Other” code.
• Not Elsewhere Classified
• Not Otherwise Specified
10/22/15
11
NOT ELSEWHERE CLASSIFIED
NEC – AKA as “Other” or “Other Specified” Use this when the medical information provides detail for which a specific code does not exist. Ex. R26.89 Other abnormality of gait and mobility Q99.8 Other specified chromosome abnormalities
NOT OTHERWISE SPECIFIED
NOS – AKA “Unspecified” Used when the information in the medical record is insufficient to assign a more specific code.
Acceptable: S06.2X9 Diffuse TBI w/ loss of consciousness of unspecified duration. Avoid using (NOS) “Unspecified” codes unless required to achieve specificity Not Acceptable: Q35.9 Cleft palate, unspecified
When in doubt? Select (NEC) “Other”

WHERE DO YOU START?
CODING GUIDELINES Ø Codes that describe symptoms and signs are
acceptable for reporting purposes when a diagnosis has not been established/confirmed
Ø Only Licensed Medical Professionals may diagnose
and assign codes within their realm of expertise, training, and in accordance with their Practice Act: OT, PT, SLP, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical RN, and Nurse Practitioners
10/22/15
13
CODING GUIDELINES Ø For patients receiving therapeutic services,
sequence first the condition, problem, or other reason chiefly responsible for the service provided
Ø Tell the Story - Use all codes, as applicable, to show the complexity of the patient and what you are addressing
Ø Avoid using only one code
3 WAYS TO GET DIAGNOSIS
1. Medical Referral Source (Hospital, Clinic, Pediatrician)
2. Parent Report – Listen to their concern (not sitting, walking, talking) 3. OT, PT, Speech Evaluation

Ask yourself, could it resolve with Intervention?
CODING GUIDELINES
Ø Code the condition to the highest degree of certainty
Ø Code all documented conditions that coexist at the time of your encounter if they are relevant
ü Do not code conditions that were previously treated
and no longer exist Ø Do not code diagnoses listed as “probable” or
“suspected”
