Event Synopsis: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released the final rule mandating that ICD-10 be used for medical coding of conditions for everyone covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). In October 2015, ICD-10, which replaced its 30-year-old predecessor, ICD-9, is the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (ICD) coding system. The Clinical Modification Codes (ICD-10-CM) are used to classify disease and condition diagnoses while the Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) All medical practices must be compliant with the new codes to be reimbursed for patient care costs. Payers, billing services, clearinghouses, and all other entities covered by HIPAA will need to comply with ICD-10. Coding changes include consideration of the severity of conditions. These codes represent a significant change from ICD-9 and have wide-reaching and serious implications for non-compliant organizations. A June 2013 survey by MGMA reported that 70% of respondents were very concerned about the new changes and almost 60% reported that coding will be much more difficult. The implementation of ICD-10 affects physician's practices, hospitals, payment companies, billing and coding organizations, legal services, and compliance and regulatory affairs. It is essential that your company and staff have the expertise, technology, and training required to meet the new legal requirements of ICD-10. Our panel of skilled practitioners will review the changes in the disease coding regulations, and will highlight key risk areas found from initial audits of ICD-10 inpatient records. § ICD-10 Overview § ICD-9- § Inpatient Audit Results § ICD-10- § ICD-10- About The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series The Knowledge Group was established with the mission to produce unbiased, objective, and educational live webinars that examine industry trends and regulatory changes from a variety of different perspectives.
