ICD-10 for Orthopedics

ICD-10 will be a reality in October, 2013 and reimbursement will be directly affected if providers are not prepared for the change.

The quantity of possible ICD codes will go from approximately 14,000 today to over 69,000. Appropriate documentation will be necessary for coders to choose the right code for medical necessity.

Join HIS's own Lynn Anderanin, AHIMA ICD-10-CM Certified Trainer, for a review of the musculoskeletal section of ICD-10 to understand the differences of ICD-10, and the information needed from our providers that we may not currently receive to assign the appropriate code.    

Take a look at real examples of common diagnoses utilized in orthopedics today and show the current mapping to ICD-10 and break down those codes to have a better understanding of the meanings of the alpha numeric characters of ICD-10.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • Important documentation that will be needed for proper ICD-10 coding
  • What do we need to be doing now in preparation of ICD-10
  • Review of the musculoskeletal chapter of ICD-10
  • Comparison of coding rules related to orthopedics from ICD-9 to ICD-10
  • Other important things to consider now for ICD-10 not directly related coding
