Yes, ASC X12 Version 5010 supports ICD-10, Procedure Coding System (PCS) and Clinical Modifications (CM) codes, and is now fully implemented across the industry. Per the Final Rule published by HHS in August 2014, covered entities are required to use ICD-10 in HIPAA transactions by October 1, 2015.

In August 2014, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a Final Rule establishing October 1, 2015, as the compliance date for use of ICD-10 code sets. The HIPAA Transactions Final Rule also requires continued use of the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) through September 30, 2015. The MHS has updated policy to account the most recent ICD-10 Final Rule. Providers, insurance companies, and others in the healthcare industry can now focus their efforts on the finalized deadline and concentrate on moving toward industry readiness together for October 1, 2015.

Prior authorizations will not need to be resubmitted for approval after ICD-10 implementation. Diagnosis and inpatient procedure codes are not used in authorization-to-claim matching logic, so there is no need for providers to request a new ICD-10 coded authorization if providers have an International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) coded authorization prior to implementation.

The DHA's ICD-10 Integrated Project Team (IPT) within the MHS produces the  ICD-10 Training and Communication Newsflash on a bi-monthly schedule. These newsflashes are intended to educate readers on specific ICD-10 topic and provide a starting point on that particular topic. >>Learn More
