1 ICD-10 IMPLEMENTATION A PHYSICIAN S PERSPECTIVE Stephen C. Spain MD, CPC AAPC Orlando, 2013
2 Perspective
3 Perspective There is not just one perspective There are a myriad of practice environments An eclectic mix of personalities And a broad variety of medical specialties
4 Perspective Given our diversity, there will not be an OSFM solution Successful solutions will have to be tailored to the specific needs of a practice environment, taking into account the medical specialties represented, the patient population served, the motivation and skill set of the providers, and the strength of the provider support infrastructure.
5 What Providers Want to Know
6 Providers Want to Know 1. How will my work flow be affected? 2. How will my reimbursement be affected?
7 Providers Want to Know Workflow: The providers level of knowledge does not have to be significantly updated Providers must be specific Providers must have and be familiar with the new tools at their disposal It s all about precise documentation!
8 Providers Want to Know Reimbursement: Initially, the implementation could affect all reimbursement With preparation and smooth transition, reimbursement should be minimally affected It s all about being prepared! But, yes, ultimately, it will affect ALL reimbursement!
9 Workflow
10 Workflow Consider buying clothing ORV-B79XX Orvis Inc
11 Workflow Consider buying clothing JCP2345-BXL JC Penney Inc
12 Workflow And in our world now ICD 9
13 Workflow And when our world changes J84.0xx9 ICD-10
14 Workflow The provider work on the front end is the same The differences will be in the back end Successful transition will depend upon how well the back end interfaces with the front end, and how well the back end makes the transition!
15 Workflow Which begs the question How big is your back end?
16 Reimbursement
17 Reimbursement No play, no pay! We will all play! We will all get paid (eventually)! But few realize the fundamental changes ICD- 10 will allow in reimbursement models.
18 ICD-10CM Views from the Industry Compliance Perspective Michael D. Miscoe, JD, CPC, CASCC, CUC, CCPC, CPCO, CHCC
19 ICD-10 COMPLIANCE CONCERNS Any change of this magnitude presents structural risk areas leading to non-compliance. Risk due to business process failure Risk due to failure of business tools (e.g. billing systems, EHR Systems) Risk due to Insufficient Education Risk associated with insufficient analysis and training of revised carrier documentation and payment policies in response to ICD-10 Implementation.
20 Limiting Compliance Risk Address the structural potential for non-compliance Identify business processes that will impede ICD-10 implementation (e.g. how you schedule, how you document, how you relay diagnosis information from provider to billing department) What worked with I-9 might not work with I-10. Test Billing and EHR Systems Magic Solutions and Identify Issues prior to implementation date. Is system attempting to convert simply on GEM s? Computer assisted coding? Develop a training budget and identify all those that need trained. Training must be specific to job function. Identify who will analyze revised LCDs and Carrier Medical Policies to understand Revised Documentation and Payment Requirements. Who will train physician s and staff?
21 IMPACTS OF NON-COMPLIANCE Potential FCA Liability for Erroneous Reporting of ICD-10 Codes. Documentation does not support use of the code reported. Code reported results in payment where correct code would not. Possible Underpayment or Payment Delay Unknown carrier reaction to use of un-specified codes/potential increased post-payment risk.
22 Questions? 22
23 Transitioning to ICD-10 Collaborating with the Provider Industry Presented By: Annie Boynton BS, RHIT, CPCO, CPC, CCS, CPC-H, CCS-P, CPC-P, CPC-I Director Communication, Adoption & Training Provider Regulatory Compliance Programs
24 Testing in ICD-10
25 ICD-10 Testing Requires Expanded Scope Organizations may have experience, resources, environments and processes that support traditional testing: Focus on ensuring accuracy of known internal system or process changes An expanded scope to include testing with your external business partners and vendors (WEDI and other industry organizations advocate that ICD-10 requires this) The scope and purpose for external testing of ICD-10 codes is much broader than recent HIPAA 5010 or future Operating Rules business/trading partner testing HIPAA 5010 & Operating Rules Testing between payers and direct EDI submitters to validate compliance with required transaction formats Automated tools and certification standards available ICD-10 Testing with entities in the entire value stream to identify, understand and predict potential differences in claim outcomes when ICD-10 codes are used No defined certification standards available to assess accuracy of results Confidential Property of UnitedHealth Group. Do not distribute or reproduce without express permission of UnitedHealth Group.
26 ICD-10 - Testing with Business Partners ICD-10 testing requires collaboration between payers and providers to: Identify and mitigate potential risk areas, including: Incorrect, partial, or invalid ICD-10 coding Potential claim processing variations between providers and payers due to selected ICD-10 codes applied to benefit plan or medical management policies Readiness and predictability of multiple vendor systems and intermediary processing through claim pathways Understand and prepare for potential reimbursement variations (due to DRG shifts or other factors) External end-to-end testing may not be feasible, cost effective, or available to many payers, providers, vendors, and claim intermediaries. There are other effective collaborative strategies to test for these risks. Confidential Property of UnitedHealth Group. Do not distribute or reproduce without express permission of UnitedHealth Group.
27 ICD-10 External End-to-End Testing Challenges Each provider-payer processing path is unique and may branch to multiple paths based on provider or payer systems, intermediary services, product lines, etc. A significant number of partners and process combinations Not feasible for most organizations to test with all business partners in the chain (providers, payers, vendor systems, intermediaries and clearinghouses) Health care providers Provider Coding: Practice Management & Billing Systems Or Vendors Payers Claim Intermediaries / Clearinghouses Confidential Property of UnitedHealth Group. Do not distribute or reproduce without express permission of UnitedHealth Group.
28 More ICD-10 External End-to-End Testing Challenges Testing with external partners requires multiple companies to be ready and have resources committed to test at the same time. Payers and providers will be impacted by, but may have limited control over, vendor readiness, including their test schedules and ICD-10 remediation logic. Procedures may be needed to conduct manual hand-offs between partners: Existing production connections CANNOT be used Unique procedures may be required for EACH combination of test partners Substantial resource time and cost will be required to test with each partner, depending on their testing scope/approach Organizations may need to train staff to perform these new test processes including research and resolution of processing constraints and claim result differences. Confidential Property of UnitedHealth Group. Do not distribute or reproduce without express permission of UnitedHealth Group.
29 More ICD-10 External End-to-End Testing Challenges Unplanned (un-budgeted) system or test environment modifications may be needed to accommodate testing with external partners. Consider common data requirements: Each payer may require test cases that use their existing data (benefit plans, members and provider contract provisions) in order to process claims through test systems. Alternatively, providers may want to use existing/mock medical records as the source for ICD-10 test cases with one or more payers, which would require payers to find or create corresponding member data for claim system testing. Test claims transferred manually may require de-identification of member information to avoid passing PHI data through non-secure channels. Confidential Property of UnitedHealth Group. Do not distribute or reproduce without express permission of UnitedHealth Group.
30 Recommendations Risks & Findings Early test findings shared by WEDI member organizations identified common coding issues that impact processing and payment: Invalid ICD-10 codes (O versus zero, partial/subcategory codes vs. full ICD-10 code, missing primary Dx code, etc.) Inconsistent application of the ICD code indicator It is not feasible to conduct thorough testing with all of your business partners. Not all payers, providers and other claim service vendors will be able to conduct external end-to-end testing (due to partner availability, resources or other constraints). Test Approach Promote creation and use of standard ICD-10 coded medical scenarios: Being developed by a few national and state organizations, vendors, payers, etc. Gives providers an opportunity to practice ICD-10 coding against a validated set of results May reduce provider duplication of effort to code claims for multiple payer test efforts Collaborative testing with a few strategically selected business partners provides a view of common production risks or issues that may be extensible to other partners. Share test findings and other key ICD-10 remediation information with other business partners via portals and other communication methods. Recommend a multiple-phase approach to cover different test objectives and ensure high quality, predictable results. Confidential Property of UnitedHealth Group. Do not distribute or reproduce without express permission of UnitedHealth Group.
31 A Multi-Dimensional Provider-Payer Test Approach UnitedHealth Group recommends a multi-dimensional test approach based on collaboration with selected external business partners (including payers, providers, vendors and other claim intermediaries). Each test phase is designed to identify and mitigate a unique dimension of ICD-10 business risk. DRG 1. Validate Comparison Clinical and Shift Coding 2. Analysis Accuracy DRG Comparison & Revenue 3. Shift Trading Analysis Partner /EDI Transaction 4. Tests Selected Test Claim Processing 5. End-to-End Claim Process Flow Providers are encouraged to practice natively coding ICD-10 claims using a standard set of medical scenarios to reduce risk of assigning incorrect, incomplete or invalid codes in production. A few regional, national and other organizations are establishing and validating coding for a suite of suggested ICD-10 claim scenarios. Early Partnership between Payers and high volume Hospitals to identify, evaluate and predict the impact of coding conditions that generate an ICD-9 to ICD-10 DRG shift. Based on selected high volume, high risk ICD-9 codes from adjudicated claims compared to ICD-10 claims natively coded by the facility. Collaborative testing with a selection of high volume direct trading partners/edi submitters to verify vendor system readiness, transaction compliance, and processing through clearinghouse edits, where applicable. Testing between a Payer and a limited number of facilities, physicians and other providers to verify accurate, expected processing results for selected high volume claim scenarios. Compare processing results from ICD-9 adjudicated claims to those recoded by providers in ICD-10 to identify any processing result variations from benefit plans or medical management policies. Similar to other payers, UnitedHealth Group is currently evaluating benefits and challenges to determine to what extent external end-to-end testing is required and to define scope. Intent to share findings and recommendations from test efforts with all providers and business partners via provider portals and other communication channels.
