Didn’t Prepare for ICD-10? Rejected Claims Are on the Way.

ICD-10 is here for most home health agencies, whether they are ready or not.

Unprepared agencies will face “decreased productivity and rejected reimbursement claims” as immediate challenges following implementation, according to Jennifer Gibson; RN, HCS-D and COS-C, and has also been conducting ICD-9 and ICD-10 coding training for Axxess, a leading healthcare technology and education accredited company.

Gibson said a lack of practice in actually coding in ICD-10-CM may slow the agencies down, resulting in a backlog in OASIS-C1 processing.

“If agencies can’t code OASIS, they can’t bill,” Gibson said. “This cash flow interruption will be one of the biggest issues agencies face for the next six months or so.”
