Presented By:Rachel M. Kaser, BS, CPC, MHSA
AHIMA-Approved ICD-10-CM/PCS TrainerAuditor; The Coding Institute (TCI)
Course Objectives
Recognize new, revised, deleted ICD-10-CM codes taking effect October 1, 2016 pertaining to Orthopedic practices
Avoid setbacks to reimbursement
Utilize expert orthopedic specific tools to accurately select codes necessary for compliance and maximum reimbursement
2
ICD-10-CM Updates
Of Note:
The Addenda that was published in June is the complete, final list of code changes going into effect this October
Ensure your Orthopedic practice reviews the Addenda and makes note of any and all changes!
3
ICD-10-CM Updates
Much needed ICD-10-CM changes/clarifications:
885 new codes added to Chapter 19 (Injuries Chapter) Increased site specificity for fracture codes of the following sites: neck,
base of skull, facial bones, Salter-Harris calcaneal fractures, and other fractures.
152 new codes added to Chapter 13 (Musculoskeletal Chapter) Additional classifications for bunions, temporomandibular joint
conditions, cervical spine disorders and atypical femoral fractures
4
ICD-10-CM Updates
Much needed ICD-10-CM changes/clarifications:
Guidance on the 7th character applications in Chapter 19
When aftercare Z codes are appropriate instead of injury codes as it pertains to Orthopedics
5
Medical Necessity
Ensure medical necessity is met for:
Hip and knee replacements
Arthoscopic femoral acetabular impingement repairs
Knee Arthroscopies
Pelvic ring fractures
Hip fractures
Femur fractures
6
Seventh Characters
Youll apply a seventh character to these codes from the following list:
A initial encounter for fracture
D subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
G subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
K subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
P subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion
S sequela
7
Atypical Fractures
Rationale: Atypical fracture
Fosamax fracture May refer to an atypical fracture
Track all such atypical femoral fractures
8
Atypical Fractures
Defining as Fosamax Fracture: Large population of patients may be missed
These fractures can occur in absence of taking these drugs
Review clinical documentation to verify codes are not unspecified
Best practice includes: Providing ongoing clinical documentation improvement
Providing feedback to the physician including guidance on capturing the specific data requirements
9
Atypical Fracture Codes
ICD-10: Adopt These New Atypical Fracture Diagnoses Starting October 1: M84.750: Atypical femoral fracture, unspecified
M84.751: Incomplete atypical femoral fracture, right leg
M84.752: Incomplete atypical femoral fracture, left leg
