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.
