MediSYS is ‘ICD-10 Readiness Validated’ by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama as released in the recent update to their Vendor Functionality Matrix. With the massive changes that will occur as a result of ICD10, regardless of the deadline delay, MediSYS will stay-the-course to be ready. Currently, MediSYS is testing or has completed testing with all payers who are in the testing phase for ICD-10. MediSYS successfully tested with Alabama Medicaid in 2013. In addition, MediSYS has successfully tested ICD-10 with Blue Cross of Alabama, Change Healthcare (Emdeon), Navicure, Zirmed and Medicare. At MediSYS, we know ICD10 readiness is crucial to provider reimbursement and we always put our clients first!
To get ready, we recommended that providers do not delay in preparing for ICD10. Providers, billing and clinical staff should start studying and looking at their most frequently used current codes and mapping them to ICD-10 starting now. At a minimum, 6 months prior to October 2015 providers should be dual coding because on the deadline, all ICD9 codes will convert to ICD10. Payers, Vendors, Clearinghouses, Physicians; anyone in the field of medicine will have to convert all on one day.
