ICD-10 READINESS PROGRAM
The focus is on what YOUR practice needs.
We work with real cases that YOUR providers see.
We provide targeted services designed to help make a smooth transition to ICD-10.
Getting Down to Brass Tacks
• There is agreement that the migration to ICD-10 will affect the bottom line of a significant number of practices.
• Most agree that one of the weak links in the chain is going to be getting the proper documentation in place so that the proper codes can be assigned and billing performed in an efficient manner. Our goal is to keep your cash flow moving!!!

Data Gathering and Analysis
In order to target the work which needs to be done, we analyze three sets of codes which we extract from your EHR:• Most frequently used diagnosis & procedure
codes• “at risk” – high rejection/denial rate under ICD-9• “high-value” – procedures that are significant
revenue generators

Educational Services• We work to help your staff understand how to document better,
not document more. Better documentation leads to better coding and more consistent and timely reimbursement.
• We use “scenario based” training and dual coding exercises. • The goal is to reduce coding risks and inefficiencies. • We will review your templates and favorites lists and provide
education and advice to maximize efficiency and achieve accurate results.

.
• We work with your providers by running through a series of scenarios designed to increase their awareness of the clinical documentation needs due to the more specific ICD-10 codes.
• It is simply a fact that the more practice providers get in documenting various scenarios, the better they will do on 1 October.
