What is ICD-10?
 A Brand New Coding System for diagnosis and procedure
codes
 ICD-10 was developed by the World Health Organization as
the next version of medical coding (after ICD-9) to
internationally categorize, track, and report clinical
diagnoses and hospital procedures.
 ICD-10 consists of:

ICD-10-CM ~ Diagnosis Coding


Used in all U.S. healthcare settings
ICD-10-PCS ~ Procedure Coding
 Used in U.S. inpatient hospital settings only

Reasons to Transition to ICD-10
 ICD-9 is 30 years old
 ICD-9 lacks the specificity required to adequately document
today’s diagnoses and procedures
 ICD-9 lacks the capacity for continued growth of diagnosis
and procedure codes as new diagnoses are discovered and
new procedures are developed
•
ICD-9 is running out of space & cannot accommodate for
the future state of healthcare

GEMs
 General Equivalency Mappings
 Developed to facilitate the transition from one code
set to another
 Maps codes from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM (and vice
versa)
 GEMs are available at:
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/icd/icd10cm.htm
 http://www.cms.hhs.gov/ICD10

Pros vs Cons of GEMs
Pros:
 Some type of matching
between ICD-9 and ICD10 codes.
 More matches going
from ICD-10 back to
ICD-9.
15
Cons:
 Only 5% 1:to:1 match
 95% is 1:to:Many ranges
 Need documentation to
code to level of specificity
 Lacks clinical
interpretation

Benefits of ICD-10
 Allows for expanded data capture:
19

More Precise Coding

Improved Quality Measurement

Improved Analysis of Disease Patterns and Outbreaks
Improved Analysis of Disease Patterns,
Accidents, Outbreaks
 Hospital Acquired Conditions
 Complications from Medical Devices
 External Causes and Places of Occurrence
 What? When? Where? External Status?
 Public Health Tracking
20
Examples of Increased Specificity
 W22.02XA, “walked into lamppost, initial
encounter
 W22.02XD, “walked into lamppost, subsequent
encounter”
 V91.07XA, “burn due to water-skis on fire”
21

Quality ~ Combo Codes
 More combination codes:
 To
report condition & common
symptoms/manifestations
 Previously
(with ICD-9) type II DM with mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy with macular edema
was reported with (3) codes:
250.50; DM with opthalmic manifestations, type II or unspecified
type, not stated as uncontrolled
 362.04; mild non-proliferative diabetic
retinopathy
 362.07; diabetic macular edema

 With

ICD-10 only (1) code is reported:
E11.321
22
Quality: AMI
 Acute Myocardial Infarction
 Timeframe
of reporting “Acute” Initial MI changed
from 8 to 4 wks duration
 This
time frame change will need to be considered when
comparing ICD-10 measures to the previous ICD-9 data
as differences in volume/outcomes are noted
 Situations like these will need to be evaluated for all
quality measures to determine the possibility if there
could be significant difference in the composition of the
measure and whether these measures are even
comparable
23
Quality: New OB Time Changes
New OB Time Changes:
 Abortion
vs. fetal death
20 weeks instead of 22
 Early vs. late vomiting
20 weeks instead of 22
 Preterm labor
< 37 completed weeks of gestation
24
Quality: Pressure Ulcers
 Pressure Ulcers are used for public reporting of quality measures
and as a healthcare-acquired condition with payment provisions
 Instead of reporting (2) codes (as with ICD-9), ICD-10 reports (1)
combination code to identify both the location (including
laterality) and the stage/severity of the ulcer
 ICD-9 codes:
707.02 (pressure ulcer, upper back),
 707.23 (pressure ulcer, stage III)


ICD-10 code:

25
L89.123 (pressure ulcer of left upper back, stage 3
 Measures evaluating stage 3 & 4 pressure ulcers will need to
incorporate all ICD-10-CM’s new location codes (specific laterality –
i.e., left upper back, right upper back, left lower back, left upper
back) identified as stage 3 & 4
Quality: Blood Transfusions
ICD-9 Procedure Coding
Blood transfusions have one
possible code per blood product
type.
Examples:
99.04 Transfusion packed cells
99.05 Transfusion Platelets
26
ICD-10 Procedure Coding
Separate codes depending on vein
or artery used for transfusion.
No unspecified options.
Examples:
30233N1 Transfusion
Nonautologous Red Blood Cells
into Peripheral Vein,
Percutaneous Approach
30243R1 Transfusion
Nonautologous Platelets into
Central Vein, Perc Approach
Quality: BMI
Why It Is Important:
1. A BMI of less than 19 or greater
than 40 is considered a
significant co-morbidity which
may impact MS-DRG
assignment when coded on an
inpatient claim.
2. Some procedures (such as
gastric bypass) require a BMI
code from a particular range in
order to be reimbursed for
services.
27
What Needs To Be
Documented:
 A diagnosis such as obesity,
morbid obesity, underweight,
malnutrition, etc. must be
documented by the physician
when appropriate.
 A BMI must be documented by
a physician or other qualified
healthcare provider (dietician
or nurse). Coders cannot
calculate the BMI.
 Patients age 2-20 should have
their BMI documented in
percentiles based on growth
charts from the CDC.
Quality: Shock Liver
A syndrome often referred to as
“shock liver” occurs after cardiac
arrest, a period of significant
hypovolemia /hypotension, or in
the setting of severe CHF. Shock
liver occurs when the blood supply
to the liver is impaired (i.e.
necrotic) resulting in elevated
transaminases.
28
 In ICD-9-CM, shock liver can
be coded in the encoder by
typing in ‘shock’ and then
selecting ‘shock liver’. The
resulting code is:
 In ICD-10-CM, there is no
option in the encoder for
looking up ‘shock liver’. To find
the best code for this condition,
you must start from the term
‘necrosis’ and then pick
’liver’ and then ’acute or
subacute’. The resulting code
is:
High Risk Impact
 Multiple Delays – lack of push for implementation.
 Lack of documentation to assign specific codes.
 Learning Curve for everyone involved.
 ‘Big Bang’ across all 50 United States.
 Transitional period [working in new ICD-10 format
and still working on ICD-9 run-off].
 Support, QA, feedback and re-education of inaccurate
coding. [after transition]
 Physician Support.
29
ICD-10 Preparations
 Educate stakeholders on changes and impact.
 Review measured data definitions, code set
conversions and identify high risk impact areas.
 Prioritize most significant measured changes.
 Create data set for high-risk measures.
 Prepare assessment report for each measure.
