Key Points in Code Selection
? ICD-10 is more specific than ICD-9 ? Attention to detail ? Consider primary diagnosis, cause and/or related
conditions
ICD-10-CM Changes Everything
Who is Impacted?
? Physicians ? Administrators ? Coders / Billers ? Technicians ? Receptionists ? IT Staff ? Billing companies
How does ICD-10 Impact?
? Payer policies ? Pre-authorizations ? PQRS ? Tracking of services ? Marketing ? Forms ? Practice management system

History of ICD-10-CM
? International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification
? Developed by U.S. National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) in 1993
? ICD-10 copywritten by the World Health Organization (WHO)
? ICD-10-CM replaces ICD-9-CM, volumes 1 and 2 ? United States is one of last countries to adopt ICD-
10
Why Replace ICD-9 ! ?
? ICD-9 is >30 years old, outdated, obsolete terminology
? Outdated codes producing inaccurate and limited data
? Inconsistent with current medical practice ? Does not provide enough detail
ICD-10-CM
? Much greater specificity and clinical information ? Use of most specific code(s) is not optional ? Provides better data to:
? Measure care ? Process claims ? Track public health ? Identify fraud and abuse ? Conduct research
ICD-10-CM
? Codes that allow comparison of mortality and morbidity data
? Increased number of concepts and codes provided ? Disease classifications include health related
conditions
Benefits of ICD-10
? More accurate payment for new procedures ? Fewer rejected claims ? Fewer improper claims ? Better understanding of new procedures ? Improved disease management
Deadline
? Final rule for adoption of ICD-10-CM ? Published in January 16, 2009 Federal Register (45
CFR part 162) ? Compliance date is October 1, 2013 ? Initial delay to October 1, 2014
Source: Federal Register, Vol. 74, No. 11 1/16/09

ICD-10 Delayed Again...
? March 31, 2014 - HR 4302 signed by President Obama ? SGR formula ? temporary fix ? ICD-10 delayed ... "The Secretary of Health and Human Services may not, prior to October 1, 2015, adopt ICD-10 code sets as the standard code sets under section 1173(c) of the SSA and section 162.1001 of 45CFR"
Compare and Contrast
ICD-9 ? 17 Chapters ? 14,000 codes ? 3-5 digits ? First digit is numeric or
alpha (E or V) ? Digits 2-5 are numeric
ICD-10 ? 21 Chapters ? ~ 69,000 codes ? 3-7 digits ? Digit 1 is alpha ? Digit 2 is numeric ? Digits 3-7 are alpha or
numeric (alpha digits are not case sensitive)
Compare and Contrast
ICD-9
Example: ? Central corneal ulcer ?
370.03
ICD-10
Example:
? Central corneal ulcer right ? H16.011
? Central corneal ulcer left ? H16.012
? Central corneal ulcer bilateral ? H16.013
? Central corneal ulcer unspecified ? H16.019
"GEM"
? General Equivalence Mappings ? No "simple" crosswalk contained in this file ? GEM file is NOT a crosswalk, it is a mapping ? Expect annual update of files ? Eye codes translation is fairly straightforward
"GEM" Files
? Two sets of files ? ICD-9 to ICD-10 ? ICD-10 to ICD-9
? Each file contains "code pairs" ? one from each set
"GEM" Files
? No decimal point in the codes ? Three columns ? Third column describes additional attributes
? Flags (approximate, no map, combination) ? Combination entry ? 1 indicates "on" (Approximate) ? 0 indicates "off" (Direct hit, but verify)

Organization of ICD-10-CM
? Introduction ? Conventions and Guidelines ? Alphabetic Index to Diseases ? Neoplasm Table ? Table of Drugs and Chemicals ? Index to External Causes ? Tabular List of Diseases
"GEM" Files
? Use GEMS ? Translating lists of codes ? Converting a system or application ? To study differences in meaning between two systems
? Use Code Books ? Translating short list of codes ? Access to medical record
Conventions for the ICD-10-CM Format
1. Alphabetic Index ? Index of Diseases and Injury ? Index of External Causes of Injury ? Table of Neoplasms ? Table of Drugs and Chemicals
2. Tabular List ? Categories ? Subcategories ? Codes
Alphabetic Index Notes
? Define terms ? Provide direction
? Wound, superficial (see also specified injury type)
? Provide coding instructions ? Trichiasis (eyelid) ? H02.059 ? with entropion ? see Entropion
Tabular List
? Categories ? 3 characters ? Chapter 7 ? Disorder of the Eye and Adnexa (H00-H59)
? Subcategories ? 4th character further defines site, etiology, manifestation or state of disease or condition ? 5th & 6th character increases specificity
? 2014 Corcoran Consulting Group (800) 399-6565
Tabular List
? 7th Character Extension ? Some categories have applicable 7th characters ? Last character ? If code is not six digits, use "x" as placeholder
? "x" as placeholder ? For when characters are needed for expansion
7th Character Extension
? A initial encounter ? D subsequent encounter ? S sequela
Example
Corneal Abrasion
Example
Corneal Abrasion
? Category ? Chapter 19 ? Injury, Poisoning . . .
S05 ? Injury of eye and orbit ? Subcategory ? 5th S05.0 ? Injury of conjunctiva and
corneal abrasion without foreign body ? Specificity ? x 7th S05.01 ? Injury of conjunctiva
and corneal abrasion without foreign body right eye
? Valid code ? S05.01xA -- Injury of conjunctiva and corneal abrasion without foreign body right eye; initial encounter
7th Character Extension
For glaucoma staging, 7th denotes severity of disease
? 1 = mild
0 = unspecified
? 2 = moderate
4 = indeterminate
? 3 = severe
? 2014 Corcoran Consulting Group (800) 399-6565
Example: Glaucoma Staging
7th character "is to be assigned to each code in subcategory H40.12 to designate the stage of glaucoma" ? Low-tension Glaucoma
? H40.12 ? Low-tension Glaucoma, bilateral (cannot stop here!)
? H40.123 ? Low-tension Glaucoma, right eye, moderate stage
? H40.1212 ? Low-tension Glaucoma, left eye, severe stage
? H40.1223
