Reno, NV – Iridium Suite practice management system is fully ICD-10 compliant and with its ICD-9 to ICD-10 Crosswalk is the best choice when evaluating ICD-10 medical billing software.
With Iridium Suite’s ICD-9 to ICD-10 Crosswalk, the user enters the current ICD-9 diagnosis code and the system responds with the associated ICD-10 code. Since the ICD-10 code set is exponentially larger than the ICD-9 code roster, in instances where additional specificity is required, Iridium Suite responds with a menu of choices so that the user can select the proper ICD-10 code. The biller makes the ICD-10 code choice based upon the patient’s individual circumstances.
Iridium Suite users are accessing the ICD-9 to ICD-10 Crosswalk feature as an educational and training tool in anticipation of the October 1, 2015 compliance date. ICD-10 codes represent a major change in code format and that, combined with the sheer volume of ICD-10 codes, presents numerous challenges related to staff training. Iridium Suite clients have appreciated the Crosswalk as a means of overcoming these challenges.
In addition to the Crosswalk, Iridium Suite qualifies as industry-leading ICD-10 medical billing software for the following reasons:
All ICD-10 diagnostic codes are loaded in the system and are available for billing.
Claims can convey up to 12 diagnosis codes and those codes can be placed in order based upon the patient’s individual diagnosis.
Iridium Suite is compliant with the new paper HCFA 1500 claim form that went into effect on April 1, 2014. Billers are also able to choose to instead send the old HCFA 1500 version in those instances when a payer requires the old format when re-invoicing claims with dates of service prior to April 1, 2014.
While ICD-10 compliance has been delayed until October 1, 2015, it remains critical to ensure that your medical billing system is capable of meeting the ICD-10 requirements. For example, in spite of the delay, certain changes such as the new HCFA 1500 format continue to be enforced. Practice management systems that are not already ICD-10 compliant may have difficulties meeting those requirements in the future.
