Additional Clarification From CMS/Medicare
on ICD-10 Flexibility

 

Last week we informed you of an announcement from CMS re some intended flexibility for providers in ICD-10 code submission as of 10/1/15. This is not a delay in the need to include a valid ICD-10 code as of that date but an indication that a claim line would not be denied if the indicated code is not specific enough but is in the correct family of codes. CMS this week released an FAQ document that provides further specifics on the nature of the intended flexibility and the limitations. Here is the link:
