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.
-
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.
