Coding systems are used in the inpatient and outpatient settings for the classification of patient morbidity and mortality information for statistical use. The World Health Organization (WHO) developed the Ninth Revision, International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9) in the 1970s to track mortality statistics across the world. The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM), is the adaptation the U.S. health system uses as a standard list of six-character alphanumeric codes to describe diagnoses. Globally utilizing a standardized system improves consistency in recording symptoms and diagnoses for payer claims reimbursement, as well as clinical research, and tracking purposes.
To make life easier you should document these patients with both ICD-9 and ICD-10 from the getgo. By entering all of your patient’s insurance information into your billing system, it will prompt you to enter both code sets at the beginning of treatment enabling a smooth transition to a patient’s secondary insurance once his primary benefits have been exhausted.
The continue use of ICD-9 codes after the effective date could result in the denial of reimbursement claims. This task can be assigned to the healthcare organization’s management team to determine a solution avoiding a break down in the system. Rahmathulla states, “In instances of an audit, appropriate documentation will make the query process substantially easier while enabling coders to clarify issues without having to query the provider multiple times for answers” (“Migration To The ICD-10 Coding System S187). It is important to accurately document to reduce the amount of claim denials. With the new specificity requirement of the ICD-10 and documentation supporting a claim, lowers the chances of healthcare fraud. The healthcare management team will oversee the process to prevent the risk of exposure.

One God vine in the ICD-9-CM official coding is the level of detail that is in Coding.according to the book the diagnosis and procedure code should be used at the highest number of digits that are available this means that the diagnosis codes are made up of 3,4,or 5 digits. And ICD nine coding the first three digits are the heading of the category code and the fourth and fifth digits provide the details of the code. If the court does not have the correct number of digits it is therefore rendered invalid. And example from the book that was given would be acute myocardial infarction. In this example the first three digits 410 provide the heading or diagnosis. There's also a fourth digit present that describes the location of said infarction the
➤ Diagnosis classification system developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for use in all U.S. health care treatment settings. Diagnosis coding under this system uses 3–7 alpha and numeric digits and full code titles, but the format is very much the same as ICD-9-CM
Accurate and comprehensible medical records documents are crucial for a positive outcome for the patient and health care providers. Health records sequentially convey significant details concerning patient’s health history and future care plans. These records are pertinent when initiating care in the acute and chronic setting for the patient. Medicare, Medicaid, and other personal health care providers necessitate rational documentation to guarantee that a procedure and/or examination is consistent with the individual’s health care coverage. The documentation also authorizes the place of health care treatment, eligible medical requirement and suitability of diagnosis and/or therapy, and that the services rendered were appropriately documented. Precise and reliable medical documentation should be recorded at the time of treatment or shortly after the intervention. Inappropriate documentation can result in erroneous and inappropriate imbursement for provided health care services.
ICD-10, which is the tenth revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problem, refers to a medical classification inventory for the coding of diseases, their signs, symptoms and causes (Center for Disease Control and Prevention 1). The use of this revised version in the United States is scheduled to begin officially on the first of October 2013. Currently, ICD-10 is being used for diagnosis coding, in procedure coding systems and for inpatient procedure coding.
