Experts predict a 55% drop in coding productivity in the first year of ICD-10 implementation.

Minimize the significant coding productivity declines and cash flow interruptions expected with the Oct. 1 implementation of ICD-10, as both the number of codes and the documentation requirements will increase significantly.

You need to start dual-coding now to be ready on Oct. 1, and to be ready code episodes that span the Oct. 1 implementation date. Remember, you will have to assign ICD-9 codes on the start of care, and then switch to ICD-10 codes on the final claim if the episode spans the Oct. 1 implementation date.

Join home health coding & OASIS expert Judy Adams as she walks you through common home health scenarios to make sure your agency’s coding processes result in compliant claims and the highest possible productivity levels after Oct. 1. Join Judy and you will:

  • Receive dual coding strategies that will help keep claims compliant through the transition and protect your productivity and revenue before and after Oct. 1.
  • Learn to dual code common home health diseases that are coded differently in ICD-10 vs. ICD-9, such as pathological fractures.
  • Work through scenarios that involve the application of new ICD-10 conventions, including combination coding, 7th character assignment, laterality, and an overall higher level of specificity.
  • Ensure you are accurately completing the new OASIS coding items, including M1025, which will replace the current M1024 payment slot.
