Clarification
After
posting the original news
article about an October 14th
CMS ICD-10 conference call IAHC
learned that the first CMS call
was for hospitals only. A
separate ICD-10-CM conference
call, for other Part A and Part
B Providers (including Home
Health Agencies) is scheduled
for November 12, 2008 (11:30
p.m. – 1:30 p.m. Central
Standard Time).
In order to
receive call-in information, you
must register for the conference
call. Please note that if you
are planning to sit with a
group, only one person needs to
register to receive the call-in
data. This registration is
solely to reserve a phone line,
not to allow
participation. Registration will
close at 11:30 p.m. CST on
November 11, 2008 or when

The Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) is
hosting a series of national
provider calls that will provide
an overview of ICD-10 and how it
differs from ICD-9-CM. The
presentations will include the
major impacts providers should
consider when planning to update
any systems with ICD-10 codes.
Issues such as differences in
code length, alpha-numeric
characters, and increased
details captured by the codes
will be explained. For the
provider, payer, vendor, and
publishing community, this
overview will help them think
about future reporting, system
updates, and training,
considering that ICD-10 may be
implemented in the future. i
Part A and Part B providers,

The presenters will include
members of the Cooperating

implemented. The Cooperating

Association (AHIMA), and

(AHA).
