ICD-10 Bridge Makes Your Coding Life Easy by James Smith
ICD-10-CM incorporates much greater clinical detail and specificity than its processor. With this, the modern classification system will provide much better data required for measuring the quality, safety and efficacy of care, conducting research, epidemiological studies and clinical trials, and lots more. It will also improve clinical, financial and administrative performance.
In addition to all this, there are a lot of other changes in <em>ICD-10-CM.</em> The added changes that can be found in ICD-10-CM are: injuries are grouped by anatomical site rather than by type of injury. What’s more, category restructuring and code reorganization have taken place in a number of<em> ICD-10-CM </em>chapters, resulting in the classification of certain disease and disorders contrary to ICD-9-CM. The new system will help prevent and detect health care fraud and abuse and also help track public health and risks.
To find additional information about ICD-10-CM and ways to bridge from ICD-9 to <em>ICD-10 codes</em>, sign up for one-stop <em>medical coding websites</em>. When you sign up for one, you’ll have access to code look up tools like the ICD-10 Bridge (ICD-9 to ICD-10). This tool tells you the CMS suggested code that maps an ICD-9-CM volume 2 code to an ICD-10-CM Volume 2 code and vice versa. You should also check if a more specific code could apply.
For instance, suppose you want to map an <em>ICD-9-Cm code</em> 642.71. When you enter this code in the tool, you’ll get the following <em>ICD-10-CM codes</em>:
So what are you waiting for? Go sign up for such a website today and see how it makes your coding life so much easy. When you do so, the October 1, 2013 transition may not look that difficult and well within your reach.
