Payers are implementing mapping/crosswalk solutions for mapping between ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes to process the claims and reimburse providers for their services based on General Equivalence Mappings (GEMs). According to GEMs, only 5% of ICD-10 codes match exactly to ICD-9 codes and 24% of the ICD-9 codes match exactly to an ICD-10 code. You need an ICD-10 test bed to have an accurate idea of what ICD-10 testing will entail, as your financial future may be determined by how realistically you can estimate this expense.
This webinar addresses the following:
- Overall testing plans
- ICD-10 test data sources (using a Cross-Walk tool can be risky!)
- ICD-9 and ICD-10 data generation plans
- Our plan
