Updates & Clarifications
Webinar: July 19, 2016 |3:00pm-4:30pm EST
Can you believe it…more than 2,600 new, deleted and revised code changes will become effective on October 1, 2016!!
Since the implementation of the ICD-10-CM code set on October 1, 2015, there has been a steady stream of interim changes to guideline interpretations and code instructions. October 1, 2015 was the largest revision to diagnosis coding ever made, providing more than 5 times as many codes as were available under ICD-9. Due to the newness of the ICD-10 code set, questions and clarifications related to the ICD-10 codes began almost immediately and have required adaptations and interim guidance.
Injuries, Poisoning, & Other Consequences of External Causes are the largest areas of change with more than 1000 changes in Chapter 19 alone. Diabetes comes in at second with 264 new codes that involve greater specification for diabetic ophthalmic complications. The third highest category is Diseases of the Musculoskeletal System. There are 81 circulatory new codes as well as other codes impacting nearly every chapter in the manual.
The complete Addenda identifying all modifications to the ICD-10-CM is expected to be posted in June.This very timely presentation will provide a brief overview of the changes of greatest importance to home health andhospice agencies and allow attendees to see useful examples of the key codes related to home health and hospice situations.
