ICD-10 is coming.
On October 23, 2013, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will implement the ICD-10-CM (diagnoses) and ICD-10-PCS (inpatient procedures), replacing the ICD-9-CM diagnosis and procedure code sets. No extensions, no delays. No grace period for implementation.

Is your practice ready?

Use referenceWizard Pro to ease your transition
Easily translate between ICD-9 codeset and ICD-10, with a bi-directional mapping included in referenceWizard Pro. The General Equivalency Mappings (GEM) allows you to find alternatives in one codeset based on the meaning of the codes from the other.

You can reference ICD-9 diagnoses (Vol 1) to their ICD-10-CM equivalents, as well as ICD-9 procedures (Vol 3) to the corresponding ICD-10-PCS codes.

ICD-10 and HIPAA 5010 Transition Timelines.

Everyone affected by the HIPAA 5010 and ICD-10 transitions – health care providers, payers, software vendors, and clearinghouses/third-party billers – needs to prepare to meet the following timetable to ensure compliance.

Date	Compliance Step
January 1, 2010	Payers and providers should begin internal testing of HIPAA 5010 standards for electronic claims
December 31, 2010	Internal testing of HIPAA 5010 must be complete to achieve Level I HIPAA 5010 compliance
January 1, 2011	Payers and providers should begin external testing of HIPAA 5010 for electronic claims CMS begins accepting HIPAA 5010 claims HIPAA 4010 claims continue to be accepted
December 31, 2011	External testing of HIPAA 5010 for electronic claims must be complete to achieve Level II HIPAA 5010 compliance
January 1, 2012	All electronic claims must use HIPAA 5010 HIPAA 4010 claims are no longer accepted
October 1, 2013	Claims for services provided on or after this date must use ICD-10 codes for medical diagnosis and inpatient procedures CPT/HCPCS codes will continue to be used for outpatient services

Medical Necessity crosswalk matches your diagnosis codes to the procedures they justify

Steer clear of the single most common reason for denial or delay of payment – missing medical necessity. When your claim is denied due to medical necessity, you cannot correct and re-bill the claim, you instead must appeal the rejection. Avoid this costly process with referenceWizard Pro.

Easily find CPT/HCPCS procedure codes that may be justified as reasonable, necessary and/or appropriate based on a diagnosis code with the Bi-directional Medical Necessity crosswalk in reference Wizard Pro. Just as easily, you can identify diagnosis codes that are allowed and not allowed for each procedure.
