ICD-10 Impact Assessment
Are you fully prepared for the transition to ICD-10? Many IT systems will be impacted by the new code set changes, so if you’re not ready, you’re not alone. We’ll help you get there with our ICD-10 Impact Assessment Service. We’ve partnered with Top Tier Consulting, an industry leader in system-wide ICD-10 analyses, to work with you to evaluate and address these areas of potential impact:
- IT systems and software (external or developed in-house)
- Trading partner (claims clearinghouses, etc.) readiness
- Payer contracts
- Business processes and workflow
- Budgets (cost of transition)
- Productivity losses
- Resource planning and management
In our phased approach, we will review our findings with you, create a comprehensive testing approach and strategy for a successful implementation, and then help you transition to ICD-10.
Benefits:
- Reduce claim denials. Coding mistakes could lead to claim rejections. Get it right the first time with an improved level of understanding.
