             ICD-10 To ICD 9   strategy  mainly focused on

  • A mapping solution to ensure that our practices can look up ICD-9 to ICD-10 codes as well as ICD-10 to ICD-9 codes.
  • Targeted external testing with our clearing houses, such as Emdeon.
  • Targeted external testing with payer-organizations.
  • Internal ICD‐10 testing to ensure proper implementation of processes & policies.
  • Providing adequate guidance and training to our clients for a smooth transition from ICD 9 to ICD 10 Convert Tool.
  • Extensive training on an organizational scale to equip our workforce with the required knowledge and competency.
Our streamlined business processes and technological solutions seamlessly accommodated this coding shift. By October 1, 2015, the ICD-10 modifications to our practice management and EHR product suite were completed and fully functional. This has helped guarantee our clients’ successful and hassle-free transition to ICD-10.

          ICD-9 to ICD-10 Medical Coding Crosswalk





The United States healthcare system will discontinue its use of ICD-9-CM diagnostic codes and upgrade its entire system to the next revision of the code: ICD-10-CM. Because ICD codes are integral to the medical billing process, the changes are taking place at every level of the patient-provider-payer relationship. As the person who interacts with diagnostic codes on a daily basis, the medical coder must be prepared for this transition. A medical coder must be fluent in both ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM in order to make the switch as seamlessly as possible.
This change was originally planned for October 1st, 2014 , however, the U.S Senate  introduced a bill on March, 26th, 2014 that will delay the change of ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM until October 1st, 2015.
A process called crosswalking is used to translate from one code to another. Icd 9 to Icd 10 Crosswalking means mapping or translating a code from one set to another. Use the AAPC tool below to crosswalk between the different coding systems.

     ICD-9 to ICD-10 Transition and Conversion



As we mentioned, ICD-10-CM code is similar to ICD-9-CM in what it does, but distinct in it’s format and layout. Where ICD-9-CM is five digits and almost entirely numeric, ICD-10-CM is seven characters and entirely alphanumeric.
This is a problem for a number of reasons. For one, the US is no longer “speaking the same language” as the other countries in the world. One of the benefits of the ICD code system is its universality. While each country that adopts ICD codes tends to tweak it in certain ways (like the United States’ Clinical Modification), the roots of the codes are still the same. Not so in the US. Since we’re still using a five-character, numeric code set, and the rest of the world is using a seven-character, alphanumeric system, it’s hard to track
The more pressing need comes from the format of ICD-9-CM itself. To put it simply, ICD-9-CM is out of room. As the field of medicine has grown by leaps and bounds in the years since ICD-9- to icd 10 converter was implemented in free tool, the code set has struggled to keep up. There are now too many new diseases, diagnoses, procedures for the code set to keep up.
If we remember our mission of always “coding to the highest level of specificity,” you can see that this is a real problem. As medical practice has developed and diversified, the old ICD-9-CM code set is increasingly incapable of providing the exact right codes. While ICD-9-CM has developed a workaround in the form of “Not Elsewhere Classified” codes and other unlisted codes, it’s not ideal to work with intentionally nonspecific codes.
Enter ICD-10-CM. The code set is significantly larger than ICD-9-CM (there are 13,000 ICD-9 codes and 68,000 ICD-10 codes), and its increased number of subcategories and subclassifications (the digits after the decimal point), allow for a far greater level of specificity in coding. ICD-10-CM is also more flexible, and was designed in such a way that eases the entrance of codes for new, recently discovered, or expanded diagnoses.

ICD 9 to ICD 10 Mapping



ICD-10 may require that more than one code is assigned to a condition.  Virtually every diagnosis code will be different and long-standing coding guidance will not apply to ICD-10.  The biggest challenge will be to “unlearn” ICD-9 coding guidance and go back to basics to learn ICD-10 coding.

 ICD-9 TO ICD-10  FORWARD AND BACKWARD TRANSLATION TOOL


On October 1st 2015, health care institutions in the United States have transitioned to the new,greatly expanded ICD-10 diagnosis and procedures code classification system. The ICD-9 classification database contained 14,315 diagnosis codes and 3,838 procedure codes. 
The ICD-10 database has 69,101 diagnosis codes and 71,957 procedure codes. Hospitals and clinics rely heavily on these codes, among other things, to get reimbursed for services they provide. The transition to ICD-10 is expected to be a difficult one on many levels, and in an effort to assist providers (including myself :-)) and coders during this process, I developed this translation tool.
The main source I used in developing the ICD-9 to ICD-10 code Converter tool was General Equivalence Mappings (GEMs) put together by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), AHIMA, the American Hospital Association, and 3M Health Information Systems.
It is important to keep in mind that this translation tool does not produce exact matches in all cases. Just as some words in, say, English don't have an exact correspondent in Spanish, Icd 9 To Icd 10 Conversion Tool produce, more often than not, an approximate match or even multiple matches (see examples below). And this should be no surprise given there are almost five times more ICD-10 codes than ICD-9 ones.

The ICD-9 to ICD-10 Crosswalk  



As of October 1, 2015, a new ICD code set, ICD-10, has replaced the now obsolete ICD-9 code set. It is crucial that healthcare organizations train and prepare for the ICD-9 to ICD-10 transition to avoid costly delays or penalties. The conversion from ICD-9 to ICD-10 adds increased specificity to clinical diagnoses, thus creating a multitude of new codes to learn and implement. To aid the ICD-10 transition, we have created an ICD-10 code lookup, or Icd 9 To Icd 10 Conversion Tool , which will allow you to translate ICD-9 codes into ICD-10 codes and vice versa. Our ICD-9 to ICD-10 crosswalk is meant to help healthcare organizations through the current change, and allow practitioners to train and learn the new diagnosis coding system during the implementation of ICD-10.

ICD 9 to ICD 10 Mapping




ICD-10 is the 10th edition of The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems; published by the World Health Organization (WHO), ICD-10 codes are, “a medical classification list for the coding of diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases”. In a March, 2014, bill providing a short-term "SGR fix," the implementation date for ICD-10 was delayed to at least October 1, 2015. All HIPAA “covered entities” must make the change icd 9 to icd 10 mapping by then. In other words, ICD-9 codes will no longer be accepted, and ICD-10-CM codes must be used after October 1, 2015. As usual, the normal coding rules for inpatient treatment will apply; meaning, the ICD code(s) employed will be based on the date of discharge, not the date of admission.

                              ICD-10 Implementation

The development of, and transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 has taken nearly two decades, but the procedure and diagnosis codes used by healthcare providers on a daily basis have been elaborated and specified. ICD-10 includes updated and expanded classification of diseases and medical terminology. The ICD-10 codes are more detailed and specific, more clinically accurate, and more logically organized.
