We have completed all analyses, including gap and system impact inventory, and system remediation. We have engaged the impacted areas of our company in our business assessments. We will be ready for the move from the ICD-9 codes to ICD-10 codes. The 10/1/2014 compliance date may seem far off, but the complexity of conversion requires immediate action to address the business and clinical issues associated with the transition. The ICD-10 conversion will affect nearly all provider systems and many processes. The largest impacts will likely be in clinical and financial documentation, billing and coding. It is critical not to delay planning and preparation. It is important that providers contact their billing or software vendor to understand their plans for conversion and testing. Slide 8 ICD-10 CM: 2014 Updates With you when it matters Coventry is a member of HIMSS and WEDI, and actively participates on many industry workgroups and task forces related to IDC-10.
