ICD-10

To help ensure you are in compliance:

• Make sure your practice management system and/or billing system is ICD-10 ready. Talk with your vendor about the support and services you might need to be compliant for ICD-10
• There is no need to memorize all of the new ICD-10 diagnoses. If you are not an inpatient facility, you only need to be concerned with the most common medical conditions your practice sees and understand how ICD-10 impacts them
• If you rarely see a particular ailment, there’s no need to memorize it or convert it to the ICD-10 equivalent diagnosis code on your paper super bill or problem list in your electronic medical record
• If your practice treats a wide range of medical conditions, use the 80/20 rule to determine which diagnosis ICD-10 codes are most pertinent; this includes family practice, pediatric medicine or internal medicine
