Reasons for Change & Cost Benefit Analysis   Comparing ICD-9-CM and ICD-10    Steps to ICD-10   Timeline and Implementation Phase

How to Survive and Ensure Smooth Transition

Agenda

No longer meet the demands of healthcare’s data needs

Cannot accurately describe the diagnoses and inpatient procedures for care delivered

Coded data is well beyond the purposes of ICD-9-CM

Greater need for coding accuracy and specificity

ICD-9-CM initially was not used for reimbursement purposes

ICD-9-CM procedures are outdated and inadequate

ICD-9-CM cannot support many of the IT and data exchange initiatives.

Reason for Change To

International Classification Disease 10-CM

More accurate reimbursement for new procedures

Fewer rejected claims

Fewer fraudulent claims

Better understanding of new procedures

Improved disease management

Quality measures and medical error reduction (Patient safety)
