2 ICD-10 Background The US uses two adaptations: CM: Clinical Modifications for diagnoses ICD-10-CM Developed to reflect current clinical understanding and medical technological advancements Provide more consistent level of detail Extensive clinical concepts, specificity, patient encounter information ICD-9 contained ~14,000 codes ICD-10-CM contains over 69,000 codes PCS: Procedure Coding System ICD-10-PCS Procedure Codes Particular to the US Inpatient Setting ICD-9 contained ~3,800 procedure codes ICD-10-PCS contains over 68,000 codes PROVIDER Page 2 ICD-10 Background Migration to a new diagnosis and procedure coding standard Impacts all areas of the healthcare industry Hospitals Information Systems HIM Revenue Cycle Patient Accounting, Patient Access Clinical Documentation Clinical Documentation Specialists and Physicians Ambulatory Physicians Home Care, Hospice, Care Management, Referrals, Discharges Policies / Procedures Selected hospital processes Penalties Uncertain Page 3 2

3 ICD-10 Background ICD-9 to ICD-10: ICD-10 Must Replace ICD-9 by October 1, 2015 ICD-10 Introduces More Specificity in the Codes 2X to 5X ICD-10 Includes Laterality as part of the Coding ICD-10 Coding Yields a Higher Level of Precision ICD-10 Expands the Coding Length from 5 Positions up to 7 ICD-10 Coding Syntax Includes More Alpha Characters Documentation will Need to Expand to Support Higher Specificity ICD-10 Changes will Require Substantial Provider Education ICD-10 Coding Changes will Require Training for Coders, Reg/Sched, Business Office Staff, Home Health, Care Management Page 4 ICD-10 Transition What Specifically will be Impacted? Systems Interfaces Forms Reports Clinical Processes and Workflows HIM Revenue Cycle Any Entity that Uses or Feeds Data with ICD Codes Other Projects Current ICD Training Budget Financials Page 5 3

4 ICD-10 Assessment Tasks Develop Charter and Work Plan Conduct Interviews Tabulate Major Systems Determine Data / Reports Needs Develop Communiqué and awareness presentation Developed Templates Contact Vendors, Assess Status and Dates of Planned Readiness Review Reports Data, Determine Metrics Conduct Chart Review Capture Other Projects Timelines Record and Measure Risks Make Recommendations Develop ICD-10 Transition planning budget Develop Detailed Education / Training Plan Develop Staffing plans Determine Financial Risk Page 6 ICD-10 Assessment Considerations Areas to Think About: Reporting Competing Projects Physician Impact Timing, Venue, Vendor of Physician and Staff Education Physician population and Charges distribution Electronic Medical Records (EMR)Tools Intelligent Medical Objects (IMO) First Pass denials and write-offs Transition timing and effort Effectiveness of Clinical Documentation Improvement program(s) ICD-10 major areas of impact Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Ortho, Cardio, High Risk Pregnancy & Delivery, Peds ICD9 Codes ICD10 Codes (over 800) Angioplasty 36.91or Q00ZZ = Repair coronary artery, one site, approach open Page 7 4

5 ICD-10 Primary Areas of Impact Coder productivity and accuracy declines Physician and reimbursement impacts Systems upgrades First pass denials Page 8 Coder Productivity and Accuracy Declines Impacts Projected productivity declines of 30% - 50% Permanent impact of 10% -15% Accuracy slippage of 15% - 20% Temporary and permanent staff costs Increased Physician Queries Increased audits Training time and cost Need for Computer Assisted Coding Results Delayed claims Rejected claims (first pass denials) Operating costs increase Staff, audits, training, overtime Underpayments Page 9 5

6 Physician and Reimbursement Impacts Impacts Physician clinical documentation time increase 25% - 50% Physician dissatisfaction Clinical Documentation Improvement Specialist strain Permanent staff costs (added CDI staff) Increased first pass denials Write-offs risk Increased Accounts Receivable days Results Incomplete documentation yielding wrong codes Operating costs increase CDI staff, training, EMR tools Underpayments No pays Cash flow and / or decreased payments Page 10 System Upgrades Impacts Implementation time Competing projects Staffing needs for implementation and testing Additional training Interfaces Results Operating costs increase Project Management staff, EMR tools, testing Staff overtime New software costs Page 11 6

7 First Pass Denials Impacts First Pass Denials increase 40% - 60% Temporary staff Write-offs risk risk of doubling write-offs Increased Accounts Receivable days Results Operating costs increase Temporary staff, staff overtime Increased write-offs Cash flow Page 12 No Margin, No Mission Reduced payments due to lack of specificity Reduced payments due to incorrect codes First pass denials that evolved to write-off status No pays Interest paid on funds to cover the gap created by reduced cash flow ICD-10 Implementation Costs: Coding staff, Clinical Documentation Improvement staff, temp staff Staff Overtime EMR tools Computer Assisted Coding Project Managers Training Testing External Audits Projected ICD-10 Implementation Costs in 000's $616 $1,080 $1,669 $2,264 $1,143 Training Temp Staff Perm Staff SW Upgrades Testing Page 13 7

8 How Do We Mitigate the Risk? Initiate a Clinical Documentation Integrity Program Implement Physician Assist Tools in the Electronic Medical Record System Implement Computer Assisted Coding Conduct vigorous end-to-end testing with Payers Conduct Dual Coding with audits Enhance the First Pass Denials process(es) Model reimbursements from dual coding and testing Renegotiate Payer contracts Educate and Train Page 14 Important Metrics Clinical Documentation ICD-10-PCS Code Structure From this to that Page 15 8
