Medical professionals are not making the progress needed for their ICD-10 implementation, according to a recent survey by the Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange (WEDI). “Unless more providers move quickly


forward with their implementation ef- forts, there will be significant disruption on Oct. 1, 2014,” WEDI concluded. If you do not comply with ICD-10 by the Oct. 1, 2014, implementation date, your claims won’t get paid. Manually converting ICD-9 codes to


ICD-10 can take hours, even days. The Simple Solutions ICD-10 Transition Soft- ware available from the Texas Medical Association helps reduce the conversion time frame. The software can generate a medical practice’s top 50 codes in a mat- ter of minutes. It can also create coding flash cards of most commonly used diag- noses that you can share with your staff. The software allows you and your staff to search ICD-9 and ICD-10 by code, description, and keyword; create and save a list of commonly used codes; and develop and print quick-reference con- version lists. To purchase the software, visit http://bit.ly/RBvole. TMA’s Complete ICD-10 Implemen- tation Solution walks your practice through every aspect of preparation, in- cluding policies, procedures, processes, relationships with other organizations, and technology. It comes with two li- censes for Simple Solutions ICD-10 Tran- sition Software and instruction videos. You can view a four-minute demo of the toolkit, available through the TMA Education Center at http://bit .ly/15eoTOx. Plus, you can watch more interviews with TMA staff in TMA’s ICD- 10 Video Vault, www.texmed.org/ICD- 10videos.
