ICD-10 The Plan•5010 was HUGE with all parties –
provider, clearinghouse and payer.•We see what’s coming with ICD-10 is BIG
with the provider and the payers. • It is more of a format change for
clearinghouses and that work has essentially been accomplished.
![Page 24: Lessons Learned from the 5010 Conversion to take into ICD-10 A Clearinghouse perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/568166b0550346895ddaab4d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
ICD-10 The Plan•Q: What are the expected system
changes to accommodate ICD‐10?
•A: Increase in the number and length of Diagnosis Code fields; use of the Diagnosis Qualifier field (FL66); edit
• logic updated to accommodate ICD‐10 codes; increase in Diagnosis Code database table size.
![Page 25: Lessons Learned from the 5010 Conversion to take into ICD-10 A Clearinghouse perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/568166b0550346895ddaab4d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
ICD-10 The Plan• Q: Will my clearinghouse need to
accommodate both the ICD‐9 and ICD‐10 code sets in a dual use testing strategy? What about after ICD-10 implementation in production?
• A: Yes. But because ICD‐9 and ICD‐10 codes cannot be used on the same claim, it is incumbent on providers to specify which code set is being used on each individual claim via the Diagnosis Qualifier field (FL66).
![Page 26: Lessons Learned from the 5010 Conversion to take into ICD-10 A Clearinghouse perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/568166b0550346895ddaab4d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
ICD-10 The Plan•Q: How will ICD‐9 ‘legacy data’ be
accommodated?
• A: Quadax and, I presume, all clearinghouses will have to prohibit ICD‐9 codes on claims with dates of service 10/01/14 and after, but allow them on claims with dates of service before the transition date and have editing modified in conjunction with Payer readiness to prohibit/allow ICD‐9 or ICD-10 codes.

ICD-10 Questions to ask Vendors•General•1. Do you have an ICD-10 plan in place?•2. Has development begun or is it
finished?•3. When were products first able to
accommodate 5010?•4. How many 5010 updates were
necessary following the general release?

use?•3. What version numbers?•4. Purchase additional hardware or other
IT services?

Lessons Learned•5010 “ready” was meaningless•Successful testing was in the eye of the
beholder•Go-Live date was payer specific•It’s not just a “technical” problem•Major problems were not anticipated•Few payers currently offer eligibility (271)
or claims status (277)
![Page 32: Lessons Learned from the 5010 Conversion to take into ICD-10 A Clearinghouse perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/568166b0550346895ddaab4d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Actions Needed•Ask for Timeline and Follow-up
•Don’t Underestimate Past Experience
•Listen
•Begin Communication Early
