ICD-10 | Five Building Blocks | bestPT Webinar | Q&A
As you get your practice ready for the ICD-10 changeover, you are bound to have questions regarding documentation and compliance. To help you get the answers you need, we have compiled all questions that were asked during our recent webinar “ICD-10 | Five Building Blocks,†along with the presenter’s responses. Feel free to add any new questions in the comment section below.
Q: Where can I find CMS guidelines in written form?
A: On CMS.gov, click on the Medicare link and you will find a link for both local and national coverage determinations.
Q: When can I start finding ICD-10 codes within your software and submitting them?
A: Our software already has all the ICD-10 codes listed; we are building the crosswalk now. We recently completed ICD-10 testing with Medicare, and were successful with our front-end edits. We are looking to have this available to practices by June, to really start testing and crosswalking. At this point, payers are not accepting claims in ICD-10; they are not coming over until October 1, but we are testing with payers and clearinghouses directly.

Just because the changeover for ICD-10 has been pushed back until October 2015, that doesn’t mean practices should slack off in preparing for it.
