  3. THE BIG QUESTION Will the Effective Date of ICD -10-CM be extended? Answer: No. At the ICD-10 Summit in Washington DC on April 12, 2011, Karen Trudel, the acting director of CMS’s Office of E-Health Standards and Services stated: “THE DEADLINES ARE NOT CHANGING”

  5. Staff Education Costs • Will you outsource the education or conduct it internally? • If you have a coding expert on staff consider the time it would take for him/her to train your staff • What are the costs and benefits of these two options? • When will the education need to be done? • It is recommended to start the training your personnel six months prior to October 2013. • If you start too early, your staff will forget what they learned before having to apply their ICD-10 coding knowledge. • Who will need what level of education?

  6. Staff Education Costs • What options are available for education? • Web based training • Face to face workshops • Books • Audio seminars 6. How will the workload be managed while staff are receiving education?

  7.

  10. New Features Found in ICD-10-CM • Character “x” is used as a 5th character placeholder in certain 6 character codes to allow for future expansion and to fill in other empty characters when a code that is less than 6 characters in length requires a 7th character, (example T15.02xD) • A number of codes have been significantly expanded (injuries, diabetes, substance abuse and postoperative complications) • Injuries are grouped by anatomical site rather than by type of injury

  11. New Features Found in ICD-10-CM • Certain diseases have been reclassified to different chapters or sections in order to reflect current medical knowledge • New code definitions (e.g., definition of acute myocardial infraction is now 4 weeks rather than 8 weeks) • V codes and E codes are incorporated into the main classification rather than separated into supplementary classifications as they were in ICD-9-CM
