What is ICD-10?

ICD is used to classify morbidity and mortality for tracking vital statistics and health insurance reimbursement across the world. ICD nomenclature provides standardization of disease classification that is used worldwide. The ICD system has been in evolution for over 150 years.

How Do We Begin to Transition Our Practice? CMS recommends that medical practices take steps to prepare for implementation of the new code set years in advance. Not only must new software be installed and tested, but medical practices need to provide training for physicians, staff, and administrators. Practices will need to create crosswalks to convert ICD-9 to ICD-10 conversions around each encounter. Practices should check with their electronic medical record vendor to assure their encounter documentation will include the up to date standards as required by CMS.
