Alaska is in the forefront of states that are preparing well for the ICD-10 transition process. Many of Alaska’s insurance carriers are preparing well ahead for the ICD-10 changes that will occur in the near future.
And of course being well prepared and organized for something that is going to initiate big changes in our industry is absolutely so valuable to make the transition as smooth as possible. As an example, Alaska’s Blue Cross Premera plan is planning and educating everyone for the ICD-10 implementation process with their informative website.
Premera, Alaska’s Blue Cross website is keeping their Alaskan providers informed and aware of the changes that lie ahead when the industry implements the ICD-10 structure. ICD-10 code sets have been widely used internationally for over a decade to report health care conditions of patients. It is also used for mortality reporting in the United States.
The United States currently utilizes ICD-9 coding both to report patient health conditions and to facilitate claims processing and provider reimbursement. Alaska’s Premera website has an informative resource tool for Alaska’s providers to use in gaining knowledge of all the changes to come in the future regarding ICD-10 transition process.
As of this time the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has mandated the use of the ICD-10 codes in the United States on all HIPAA transactions on October 1st, 2013, for reporting and payment of claims.
HHS recently announced a proposed rule that may extend the ICD-10 reporting compliance date. This mandate date may be extended as providers, insurance companies and databases will have to trained, educated and reformatted to allow for the more specific diagnosis codes.
Among all the changes and transitions that will have to take place with the ICD-10 process, there will need to be much training and education and Alaska’s Premera website is an informative tool in understanding and implementing the ICD-10 changes. The resources and tools that Premera’s website provides to providers is quite extensive. By being prepared, the changes that the ICD-10 transition process will bring, can be kept to a minimum.
