ICD-10 Transition Raises Concern

February 15, 2012 / Melody Smith / Comments Off on ICD-10 Transition Raises Concern

MedAptus’s Professional Intelligent Charge Capture solution was named the Mobile Data Systems Category Leader by KLAS. This twice awarded honor was based on positive customer feedback in areas such as product quality, implementation, and support.

MarketWatch brought this news to our attention in their article, “MedAptus First Again in KLAS Mobile Data Systems Rankings.” With this comprehensive approach to streamline coding and billing processes, healthcare providers who are already facing the ICD-10 transition challenge will surely be interested.

The new ICD-10 coding classification system that goes into effect in October 2013 will have five times the number of codes to use for billing reimbursement than the current ICD-9 does. Access Innovations’ M.A.I. machine-assisted indexing system and specialists in complex coding, tagging, and indexing can minimize the risk of coding errors with proper training and quality assurance. Many widely used tagging systems lack the user-friendly interface and may not implement a rigorous ANSI-compliant coding subsystem. Access Innovations’ solutions are ANSI-compliant and implement state-of-the-art technology to speed tagging and reduce errors.
