1 ICD-10 Implementation Toolkit Supporting you Over the Hurdles Introduction October 1, 2015, is the deadline for ICD-10. If you have questions or have fallen behind in your preparations and training, this toolkit is for you. Chiropractic Care of Minnesota Inc. has created and gathered an abundance of educational and supporting resources to assist chiropractors through the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10. This toolkit combines the most valuable resources to help guide you over the ICD-10 hurdles. Contents Implementation Checklist + Quick Tips ICD-10 for the Chiropractic Procrastinator Chiropractic ICD-10 Common Codes List Frequently Asked Questions Additional Resources List ICD-10 Implementation Toolkit Chiropractic Care of Minnesota, Inc.
2 ICD-10 Implementation Checklist + Quick Tips Watch ChiroCare s Gauging ICD-10 Readiness webinar with your staff members. This recording provides a quick 60-minute overview of the transition basics. Compile a list of all the places (paper and electronic) ICD-9 codes are used in your clinic today. Some examples may include routing slips, billing paperwork, accounts receivable, etc. Refer to ChiroCare s Chiropractic ICD-10 Common Codes List codes (included in this toolkit and available online) for a preliminary list of common ICD-10 codes chiropractic diagnoses. Use the inventory sheet of ICD-9 codes you collected from February to identify what processes, forms and systems need to change for the October 1, 2015 deadline. Modify these policies and procedures. Revise these paper forms and templates. Just about everyone in your office will need some sort of training, including medical coders and clinical staff. Make sure everyone is comfortable with codes as well as workflow changes especially if you have new or upgraded systems. Conduct internal tests. Review ChiroCare s ICD-10 Internal and External Testing Procedures document offers some great tips to help get you started. Work out any testing errors internally or with vendors. Practice coding with ICD-10 and validate supporting clinical documentation processes Quick Tips Bill by date of service (DOS) use ICD-9 codes for DOS until 9/30/2015; and ICD-10 codes should be used on all claims with DOS on or after 10/1/2015 Claims for DOS on or after 10/1/2015 that use ICD-9 codes will be denied there is no grace period Chiropractic manipulation codes are the M99.XX codes Some codes have three digits and others have seven digits to be complete. Double-check the tabular list to be certain the code is a complete code! Combination Codes are new with ICD-10 (e.g., lumbago with sciatica (right) is one code M54.1) Watch for exclusion codes o Excludes 1 = mutually exclusive code - consider these codes INSTEAD (e.g., 54.5 low back pain excludes S low back strain) o Excludes 2 = not includes - consider this code IN ADDITION (e.g., strain S16.1xxx and sprain S13.4xxx may both be diagnoses) ICD-10 Implementation Toolkit Chiropractic Care of Minnesota, Inc.
3 ICD-10 for the Chiropractic Procrastinator Presented By Chiropractic Care of Minnesota, Inc. (CCMI) Authored By Dr. Evan Gwilliam, DC, MBA, BS, CPC, CCPC, NCICS, CCCPC, CPC-I, CPMA, MCS-P Introduction You have put it off long enough. It is time to become proficient with ICD-10 or face the risk of claims not being paid for dates of service beginning October 1, The following pages contain tips and suggestions on how to get started with the new coding approach. However, remember that learning ICD-10 is a bit like learning to speak a new language - it cannot be taught in a few pages. Be sure to also check out additional resources at the end of this Guide to support you over the ICD-10 hurdles.
4 Table of Contents ICD-10 Structure & Fundamentals. 2-3 ICD-10 Terminology & Definitions..3-5 General Tips..6 Strategies for Finding the Right Codes 6-7 How to Use the ICD-10 Coding for Chiropractic Book..7 Where to Find More Information..7 ICD-10 Structure & Fundamentals ICD-10 codes are organized into chapters, separated by body system or condition, just like ICD-9. Chiropractors will mostly use codes from the following chapters of the official Tabular List, which is abridged in ChiroCode s ICD-10 Coding for Chiropractic book: Chapter 6 (G Codes Diseases of the Nervous system), Chapter 13 (M Codes Diseases of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue), Chapter 18 (R Codes Symptoms, Signs and Abnormal Clinical and Laboratory Findings, Not Elsewhere Classified), Chapter 19 (S Codes - Injury), and maybe Chapter 20 (V, W, X, and Y Codes External Causes of Morbidity). ICD-10 codes contain up to seven characters and they contain numbers as well as letters. The first three characters are the category; all codes in the same category are a related condition (i.e. M47 is the category for Spondylosis). ICD-10 for the Chiropractic Procrastinator 2
5 The next three characters provide detail about things like the anatomical site and severity; in some cases, they may be replaced by the x to ensure that the seventh character remains in the seventh position. Be careful about specifying the difference between the number zero 0 and the letter O. The same is true of 1, L, and I. The sixth character frequently denotes laterality (1=right; 2=left). When there is no bilateral code, you need to list the right and left code separately. The seventh character for certain injury codes (encounter or episode of care) will usually only be used by chiropractors for sprain and strain codes (i.e. S23.3xx_ Sprain of Ligaments of Thoracic Spine.) The _ underscore indicates that a seventh character is required. They usually include the following three options. o A Initial encounter: patient is receiving active treatment. Payers may recognize this as a phase of care, rather than a single visit. It may be required when establishing medical necessity for chiropractic care. o D- Subsequent encounter: routine care during the healing or recovery phase/support care. This may be considered appropriate for all visits after the initial visit, or it may be viewed as maintenance care. o S Sequela: complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of the condition. This would be applied to a condition which is no longer present, but it led to another problem, which is the primary reason for the encounter. ICD-10 Terminology & Definitions Acute Conditions - The medical conditions characterized by sudden onset, severe change, and/or short duration. Additional Diagnosis - The secondary diagnosis code used, if available, to provide a more complete picture of the primary diagnosis. And - Means "and/or" when it appears in a title or narrative statement. Example: S33 says Dislocation and sprain, which can mean either sprain and/or dislocation. Bilateral - For bilateral sites, the final character of the codes in the ICD-10-CM indicates laterality. An unspecified side code is also provided should the side not be identified in the medical record. If no bilateral code is provided and the condition is bilateral, assign separate codes for both the left and right side. Brackets [ ] - Punctuation found in both the Tabular List and the Alphabetic Index surrounding manifestation codes to indicate that the manifestation should be sequenced after the disease code. Chronic Conditions - Medical conditions characterized by long duration, frequent recurrence over a long period of time, and/or slow progression over time. ICD-10 for the Chiropractic Procrastinator 3
6 Code Also - Instruction that tells the coder that more than one code could be assigned, but it does not imply any sequencing guidance. Generally the most serious condition should be listed first. Code First - Instructs the coder to assign the code for the underlying disease before the code for the manifestation of the disease and generally accompanies a manifestation code. This note is not common for musculoskeletal codes. Colon : - Punctuation found in the Tabular List when a term must be modified by the addition of another term in order to qualify it for assignment of a specific code or to a category. Combination Codes - A single code used to classify any of the following: two diagnoses; a diagnosis with an associated secondary process (manifestation); or a diagnosis with an associated complication. Crosswalk/mapping - Moving from one code set to another. This is generally done with GEMs, but can be customized. Excludes - "Excludes" as used in ICD-9-CM indicates that the code should not be used, because another code may be more appropriate. "Excludes" notes usually include suggestions of more appropriate codes or code ranges. ICD-10-CM introduces two types of excludes: "Excludes1" and "Excludes2". o o o Codes/conditions listed in the "Excludes1" notes should not be used because the two conditions do not occur together. It may be helpful to think of the Excludes1 list to be codes that might be suggested instead. Codes/conditions listed in the "Excludes2" notes indicate that the conditions being excluded are not considered part of the subject condition, but that another code should also be assigned. It may be helpful to think of Excludes2 codes to those that might need to be added to provide full detail. Codes may have both, either or neither Excludes1 and Excludes2 notes. GEMs - Generated by the National Center for Health Statistics, this reference mapping attempts to include all valid relationships between the codes in the ICD-9-CM diagnosis classification and the ICD-10-CM diagnosis classification. CMS warns not to code directly from GEMs, as they only provide approximations. Note that GEMs frequently point to unspecified ICD-10 codes, which may lead to denied claims. Includes - Term that is accompanied by conditions that are examples of what may be included in a specific category. NEC - Not elsewhere classified or other specified is used when the information in the medical record provides detail for which a specific codes does not exist. Example M53.86 Other specified dorsopathies, lumbar region might be used for facet syndrome. The code does not name the condition, but the documentation does. Nonessential Modifiers - Terms that may coexist with the main term but do not change the code assignment for the condition. These are generally contained within parentheses. ICD-10 for the Chiropractic Procrastinator 4
7 NOS - Not otherwise specified or unspecified is used when the information in the medical record is insufficient to assign a more specific code. Example: M54.9 Dorsalgia unspecified. The code is vague, but so is the documentation. Manifestation Codes - Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. For such conditions, the ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the underlying condition be sequenced first followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a combination exists, there is a "use additional code" note at the etiology code, and a "code first" note at the manifestation code. These instructional notes indicate the proper sequencing order of the codes, etiology followed by manifestation. However, these are uncommon for musculoskeletal diagnoses that are most likely to be used by chiropractors. Medical Necessity - Services or supplies that: are proper and needed for the diagnosis or treatment of a medical condition; are provided for the diagnosis, direct care, and treatment of a medical condition; meet the standards of good medical practice in the local area; and are not mainly for the convenience of the patient or doctor. Diagnosis codes convey this information. Parentheses ( ) - Punctuation found in both the Tabular List and the Alphabetic Index that surrounds nonessential modifiers. Example: M99.1- subluxation complex (vertebral). The word vertebral is not essential to the code description. Principle Diagnosis - First-listed/primary diagnosis code. The code sequenced first on a medical record defines the primary reason for the visit as determined at the end of the encounter. Signs/Symptoms - Codes that describe symptoms and signs, as opposed to diagnoses, are acceptable for reporting purposes when a related definitive diagnosis has not been established (confirmed) by the provider. See - Term used in the Alphabetic Index to instruct the coder to refer to another term. See Also - Term used in the Alphabetic Index to instruct the coder to refer to another term if desired. Sequelae - A late effect is the residual effect (condition produced) after the acute phase of an illness or injury has terminated. There is no time limit on when a late effect code can be used. The residual may be apparent early, such as in cerebral infarction, or it may occur months or years later, such as that due to a previous injury. With - Term used in the alphabetic index immediately following the main term, but not necessarily in alphabetic order in the Alphabetic Index. It is defined as associated with or due to. If not specified in the documentation, the default is without. ICD-10 for the Chiropractic Procrastinator 5
8 General ICD-10 Tips Claims for dates of service prior to October 1, 2015 must use ICD-9 codes. Claims for dates of service after October 1, 2015 must use ICD-10 codes. The ICD-10 code set was last updated in 2012, and will not change again until 2016 Personal Injury insurance policies and workers compensation plans are not required to adopt ICD-10 codes, but it is expected that they will. You are encouraged to contact them directly to make sure. Do not code diagnoses documented as probable, suspected, questionable, rule out, or working diagnosis or other terms indicating uncertainty. Example: if you suspect a disc herniation, you may need MRI to confirm before using a disc related diagnosis code. Signs and symptoms (mostly Chapter 18, R codes) should only be coded if a more definitive diagnosis has not been identified, or if they are not routinely associated with other codes assigned to the encounter. External Cause codes (Chapter 20, V, W, X, and Y) o Do not provide a diagnosis, rather they provide data about the location, activity, or circumstances of an injury or poisoning o Are not mandatory, but voluntary reporting is encouraged o May be used by chiropractors with acute injuries, such as auto accidents or worker s comp claims o Are always listed last on a claim form Strategies for Finding the Right Codes General Strategies 1. Use GEMs mapping in the ChiroCode book (pages ) or your EMR software. Then confirm the choice in the Tabular List. Be wary of unspecified codes. 2. Use the Common Codes list in the ChiroCode book (pages 44-56). Then confirm the choice in the Tabular List. Be sure to review all the instructional notes within the Tabular List. 3. Look up the key terms from the provider documentation in the Alphabetic Index (pages ). Then confirm the code(s) in the Tabular List. Consider synonyms if you can t find the term you are looking for. Improving ICD-10 documentation 1. Find ICD-10 codes for existing records in your office. 2. Compare the existing documentation to the new codes. 3. If inadequate, add details to a practice record. 4. For every patient that presents in the future with that condition, include the new details in your documentation. ICD-10 for the Chiropractic Procrastinator 6
9 Administrative steps Be prepared for the possibility of delayed payments due to issues regarding processing and payer policies for new codes. Consider securing financing to allow you to meet obligations should revenue temporarily decline. Reach out to payers and your clearinghouse and ask if they will accept test claims prior to October 1, Plan to train your entire office a little each week. Consider using articles from trade journals or reading the first 43 pages of the ChiroCode ICD-10 book. How to use the ICD-10 Coding for Chiropractic Book The first 43 pages summarize all you need to know about ICD-10: detailed explanations of the terms identified in this guide. The Commonly Used Codes (about 12 pages) section provides you with a shortcut list sorted by anatomical region. Note that this list is only a best guess, since ICD-10 has not actually been used yet. The Code Mapping (about 90 pages) section provides you with GEMs tables to translate from ICD-9 to ICD-10 codes. Watch out for unspecified codes. The Tabular List (about 300 pages) contains an abridged version of the full code set. Most of the codes included are musculoskeletal conditions and acute injury codes (sprains and strains). o An arrow at the bottom of a page means highest specificity and if the code is bold, it means it is complete (right number of characters). o Pay particular attention to instructional notes at the level of each code character. The Alphabetic Index (about 20 pages) can be used to find codes by key terms that are included in the documentation. Beware that the index usually only provides the first three or four characters of a code. The Appendix (about 40 pages) contains an abbreviated version of the official guidelines for ICD-10 coding.

10 Chiropractic ICD-10 Common Codes List This is a preliminary list of common ICD-10 codes for chiropractic diagnoses. This is a common code list to be used as a guide for coding and is not intended to represent all ICD-10 codes accepted by ChiroCare. Using codes on this list does not guarantee that the claim will not be denied. Using valid ICD-10 codes can facilitate authorization, claims payments and support the medical necessity of the service in case of review, audits or litigation. Codes must support neuromusculoskeletal (NMS) conditions, and represent the body regions requiring treatment. Please list the diagnosis primarily responsible for the treatment in the primary position on the claim form. ChiroCare further recommends that the secondary, tertiary and quaternary diagnosis positions on the claim form be used to report additional conditions/regions that are being treated.

15 ICD-10 Transition Frequently Asked Questions 1. When is the ICD-10 compliance deadline? The ICD-10 deadline is October 1, Is it the Date of Service (DOS) that determines ICD-9 or 10? Yes. DOS before October 1, 2015 are submitted using ICD-9. DOS on or after October 1, 2015 are submitted using ICD What happens if I submit ICD-9 for DOS after October 1, 2015? The claim will be denied. 4. Is there any grace period to submit ICD-9 after October 1, 2015? No. For DOS on and after October 1, 2015 ICD-10 is required. 5. Do ICD-10 codes need to be reported for all products? Yes. ICD-10 codes must be used for all services provided on or after October 1, 2015, regardless of the type of insurance product the member holds. 6. Codes change every year so why is the transition to ICD-10 any different from the annual code changes? ICD-10 codes are completely different from ICD-9 codes. Currently, ICD-9 codes are mostly numeric and have 3 to 5 digits. ICD-10 codes are alphanumeric and contain 3 to 7 characters. The change is significant, so it is wise to begin your transition process now. 7. Will ICD-10 replace Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) coding? No. The transition to ICD-10 is for diagnostic codes and does not affect CPT coding for outpatient procedures and practitioner services. 8. Why is the switch to ICD-10 happening? The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is requiring the transition to ICD-10 because it allows for more accurate description of the patients medical condition and creates a structure of ICD codes that can expand the number of diagnostic codes available. I info@chirocaremn.org I MN Office: I WI Office:
16 9. What should I do to prepare for the transition to ICD-10? Buy the ICD-10 Coding for Chiropractic book, from ChiroCode or the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) Attend a Seminar: See ChiroCare.com/Events Prepare a budget for transition and claim delays Set up a staff transition team and timeline Talk about the clinic work flow and where ICD codes are being used Check with software and billing vendors and clearinghouses on their ICD-10 readiness 10. Where can I find ICD-10 codes and crosswalks? Find a Code: Findacode.com (phone app) American Association of Professional Coders (AAPC): aapc.com Disclaimer: ICD-10 mapping or crosswalks for ICD-9 codes often do not directly code to ICD-10 and requires a clinical analysis to determine which code should be selected 11. What is my timeline? In order to avoid costly claims denials and rejections, begin the transition early. The recommendation is to be ready for internal ICD-10 testing in June and do external testing with vendors in July. This will provide time to identify errors and find solutions before the October 1 deadline. 12. Where can I find more ICD-10 Resources?
