The ICD-10-PCS classification system is a whole new way of coding procedures. Compared to ICD-9-CM procedure coding, it entails more specificity, uses different organizational principles, and uses a different classification system based on essential components of a procedure.
Are you ready? Do you know the key anatomical terms you will use? Do you know the goal of the procedure? Do you know how the umbrella ICD-9-CM procedure codes translate to codes in ICD-10-PCS?
Focus your preparation for ICD-10-PCS on the codes you use most. By mapping the most frequently used ICD-9-CM Volume 3 procedure codes to their corresponding ICD-10-PCS codes, you can identify the essential components of the procedures, identify your specific documentation needs, evaluate your training needs, and refine your implementation plan. Start your preparations for the new coding system with this low-cost, easy-to-use tool.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Perform impact analysis to identify and focus on high priority coding issues. Using the ICD-9-CM Volume 3 procedure codes you already know as your guide, you'll be able to quickly identify the ICD-10-PCS codes that are pertinent to your facility. Then focus on these codes for training and system transition.
- Links ICD-9-CM Volume 3 procedure codes to all valid ICD-10-PCS alternatives. Convenient look-up tool for verifying code choices in the new code system.
- Jump-start your implementation plan. Start improving documentation habits now in preparation for increased documentation requirements under ICD-10-PCS.
- Must-have resource to update your organization’s coding and billing tools. Choose the right codes to convert forms, reports, and EHRs/PHRs that meet your specific clinical and coding criteria.
- Software validation. Use this mapping tool to verify software accuracy, evaluate new software, and assist in conversion planning.
- Easy-to-use table format. Lists ICD-9-CM Volume 3 procedure codes with titles and the corresponding ICD-10-PCS codes with titles.
- Validate root operation selection. The number one challenge with ICD-10-PCS is selection of the correct root operation that defines the objective of the procedure.
