DRIP Line ICD-10-CM Did you know... Matching Two codes with ICD9 to 10
by Christine Woolstenhulme, QCC, QMCS, CPC, CMRS October 9th, 2014
An exact match between two codes is not a common occurrence. For instance, in ICD-9-CM, a diagnosis code for a patient claim only describes a broken forearm.
In ICD-10-CM, the same condition will now specify
which forearm is broken
which bone
which portion of the bone
the condition of the break when the patient was examined
its condition in subsequent visits.
NOTE: This is just a sample of the information found in over 20 specialty books to help you transition to ICD-10. These books will be available at instacode.com January 2015.
