ICD-10 Implementation
• October 1, 2015 – Compliance date for implementation of ICD-10-CM (diagnoses) and ICD-10-PCS (procedures) – Ambulatory and physician services provided on or after
10/1/15– Inpatient discharges occurring on or after 10/1/15
• ICD-10-CM (diagnoses) will be used by all providers in every health care setting
• ICD-10-PCS (procedures) will be used only for hospital claims for inpatient hospital procedures – ICD-10-PCS will not be used on physician claims, even
those for inpatient visits2
Why ICD-10Why ICD-10
Current ICD-9 Code Set is:– Outdated: 30 years old– Current code structure limits amount of
new codes that can be created– Has obsolete groupings of disease families– Lacks specificity and detail to support:
• Accurate anatomical positions• Differentiation of risk & severity• Key parameters to differentiate disease manifestations

ICD-10 Changes Everything!ICD-10 Changes Everything!
• ICD-10 is a Business Function Change, not just another code set change.
• ICD-10 Implementation will impact everyone:– Registration, Nurses, Managers, Lab, Clinical Areas,
Billing, Physicians, and Coding
• How is ICD-10 going to change what you do?

ICD-10-CM/PCSDocumentation Tips
ICD-10 Provider ImpactICD-10 Provider Impact
• Clinical documentation is the foundation of successful ICD-10 Implementation
• Golden Rule of Documentation– If it isn’t documented by the physician, it didn’t happen– If it didn’t happen, it can’t be billed
• The purpose in documentation is to tell the story of what was performed and what is diagnosed accurately and thoroughly reflecting the condition of the patient
– what services were rendered and what is the severity of illness
• The key word is SPECIFICITY– Granularity– Laterality
• Complete and concise documentation allows for accurate coding and reimbursement
11
Gold Standard Documentation PracticesGold Standard Documentation Practices
1. Always document diagnoses that contributed to the reason for admission, not just the presenting symptoms
2. Document diagnoses, rather that descriptors
3. Indicate acuity/severity of all diagnoses
4. Link all diseases/diagnoses to their underlying cause
5. Indicate “suspected”, “possible”, or “likely” when treating a condition empirically
6. Use supporting documentation from the dietician / wound care to accurately document nutritional disorders and pressure ulcers
7. Clarify diagnoses that are present on admission
8. Clearly indicate what has been ruled out
9. Avoid the use of arrows and symbols
10. Clarify the significance of diagnostic tests12
ICD-10 Provider ImpactICD-10 Provider Impact
The 7 Key Documentation Elements:
1.Acuity – acute versus chronic
2.Site – be as specific as possible
3.Laterality – right, left, bilateral for paired organs and anatomic sites
4.Etiology – causative disease or contributory drug, chemical, or non-medicinal substance
5.Manifestations – any other associated conditions
6.External Cause of Injury – circumstances of the injury or accident and the place of occurrence
7.Signs & Symptoms – clarify if related to a specific condition or disease process
13
ICD-10 Documentation TipsICD-10 Documentation Tips
Do not use symbols to indicate a disease.
For example “↑lipids” means that a laboratory result indicates the lipids are elevated
– or “↑BP” means that a blood pressure reading is high
These are not the same as hyperlipidemia or hypertension
