Open Line Friday: ICD-10 Health Care Industry & Regulatory Update
• On June 17, 2014, HHS sent the ICD-10 interim final rule to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval; according to health care industry sources, a new compliance date requiring the use of ICD-10 will be October 1, 2015; in addition, the rule also requires covered entities to continue to use ICD-9-CM through September 30, 2015.
• CMS/Medicare has postponed their ICD-10 end-to-end systems testing until 2015:"CMS planned to conduct ICD-10 testing during the week of July 21 through 25, 2014, to give a sample group of providers the opportunity to participate in end-to-end testing with Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) and the Common Electronic Data Interchange (CEDI) contractor. The July testing has been canceled due to the ICD-10 implementation delay. Additional opportunities for end-to-end testing will be available in 2015.“
• On June 4, 2014, a letter was sent to Marilyn Tavenner (CMS Administrator) from the chairs and ranking members of the Senate Finance, House Ways and Means, and House Energy and Commerce committees (see next slide).

• NUCC changes to the CMS 1500 professional paper claim form to accommodate ICD-10 (www.nucc.org); the following recommended transition timeline has applied:
• January 6, 2014: Payers begin receiving and processing paper claims submitted on the revised 1500 Claim Form (version 02/12).
• January 6 through March 31, 2014: Dual use period during which payers continue to receive and process paper claims submitted on the old 1500 Claim Form (version 08/05).
• April 1, 2014: Payers receive and process paper claims submitted only on the revised 1500 Claim Form (version 02/12).
• Partial code freeze continues until one year after the implementation of ICD-10: • Only codes for new diagnosis and new technologies will be considered for exception
inclusion.• Last regular updates to ICD-9-CM and ICD-10 occurred on October 1, 2011. • Regular ICD-10 updates will begin on October 1, 2016 pending the approval of the October 1,
2015 ICD-10 implementation date.
