Greater Accuracy for Better Reimbursement
Due to the impending transition to the ICD-10, managers, coders, billers, and providers need to be prepared to make the switch as
smoothly and as accurately as possible. The new system contains about 5 times more codes compared to ICD-9—that’s 69,000 codes,
not to mention the new layout of how the codes are organized. While the increase in the volume of codes seems formidable, much of the
increase is due to bilateral eye diagnosis codes (right, left, bilateral, non-bilateral, and unspecified). For example, currently procedures
are reported with modifiers RT and LT. With ICD-10, most Eyecare diagnoses will be reported by eye or eyelid. The second major issue is
specificity. More codes will mean more specific descriptions of diagnoses.
That being said, there are numerous organizational and managerial tasks that need to be performed in preparation for ICD-10. These include,
but are not limited to, preparing and implementing a training program, reworking fee tickets, updating practice management software,
establishing documentation policies, and an internal audit system to ensure accuracy, compliance, and maximum reimbursement. Don’t wait;
the time to act is now! Be prepared for this transition by learning from a certified coding expert with more than 15 years of experience.
