Q10: Do you have any success stories or lessons learned to share? (cont’d)
If yes, please write below: – When people hear that injury codes exist in both ICD-9 and ICD-10, they
change their perspective. When they hear that not all unspecified codes will be denied, they change their perspective. When they hear that a lot of diagnoses cannot be captured and remain unspecified (Ex. Ebola, intracardiac thrombus .), they change their perspective. When they understand that laterality alone covers a third of the new codes, they change their perspective.
– Start by reminding doc he does not need to become a coder.– Go on EMR

Q11: Do you have any tips on how to make the transition to ICD-10 easier for small physician practices? If so, please write below.
Train staff early Get the right EMR. Start NOW to double code and use trial submissions with vendors Standards for office vocabularies using the EHR. Most EHRs these days,
use a third party vocabulary to bridge between ICD-9, ICD-10 and SNOMED-CT.
Make sure your billing software is ready for the transition. Ask them to pick pout their 25 common codes. Then work with them to
code them. Start coding 10 records a week in ICD-10 Peer support Consider specialized software solutions

Use the web.. yes there are coding books but the internet is so helpful CMS website. Start early. Put aside 6 months cash reserves to cover
overhead after start date, start double coding now. Training,

Q12: Which type(s) of trainings do you feel are critical to the ICD-10 transition? (cont’d)
Other (please specify)– Office is different than hospital (coders query doctors). For office doctors,
through an automated process, it would be great if feedback to physicians about what is "missing" or "lacking" in the codes they select so they can improve (Ex. catch the electronic diagnosis that are "inappropriate in the edits" and bounce them back as educational tool.)
– Coding only for coders, and billers, schedulers to extent, doctor needs more on documentation
