Editor's Note
ChartLogic (Salt Lake City) is reporting that as of August 9, 2017, a total of 419 ICD-10 codes were added, 273 codes were revised, and 123 codes were being deleted, according to the August 15 Becker’s Hospital CFO Report.
The changes are slated for implementation on October 1, 2017, and will be in effect to September 30, 2018.
Organizations currently using procedure codes that will be deleted must retrieve the new codes to bill for the same procedures. They also must become familiar with codes for new billing scenarios and revisions for existing codes.
More ICD-10 changes are on the way nearly two years after the coding system went live on Oct. 1, 2015, according to a blog by Jerris Heaton, marketing coordinator at Salt Lake City-based health IT company ChartLogic.
