ICD-10 Release Update
July 30,2015
DOX will be releasing ICD-10 in 2 Stages:
Stage 1- Testing Stage
Testing stage will be released the 1st week of August. In this stage, you will simply see the new ICD 10 codes listed next to the ICD 9 code on the DIAGNOSIS page of DOX PA. Following the identical format DOX created for ICD9, you will simply choose the appropriate DIAGNOSIS. Your billing summary/ superbill will be created just as in the past, simply with the new ICD-10 code next to the old ICD 9 code. For this initial testing, we recommend sending 5 -10 claims to EACH of your carriers ( Medicare, Blue Shield, United, Aetna, etc)
Select diagnoses that are used most frequently ( plantar fasciitis, onychomycosis, Hallux valgus, etc ). Be sure the insurance carrier can accept the ICD-10 code and please be sure to report any issues to DOX.
Tip: you will notice there are 2 different ICD 10 codes. For ICD-10, frequently, but not always there is a different code for the left side vs the right side. The left side is always the higher of the 2 numbers, the right side is the lower of the 2 numbers
Tip 2: Do not use trauma codes for this early testing ( Fractures, Dislocations, Sprains, etc). These codes are the most involved to submit correctly. We will be sending out helpful tips via the announcement page during Aug and Sept on the proper submission of these ICD-10 codes

Stage 2 – Final Implementation
This stage will be released the 1st week in September. In this stage, DOX will implement our auto selection of the correct left or right side code, based on the anatomy you choose for the case. At this point, on the constrained list, you will see only 2 codes on the DIAGNOSIS page: the previous ICD 9 code and the ICD 10 code for the left or right anatomical side you selected. This will make learning the correct ICD 10 codes more seamless for physicians and staff, as we move to the required October 1 start date.
Note: DOX will continue to display the ICD 9 codes for approximately one year ( Oct 2016) to allow for:
-
Learning the ICD9 – ICD 10 equivalents
-
For Any Insurance carriers that may have issue receiving the ICD 10 codes- our customers will still have access to the ICD 9 codes, so either can be submitting. This should insure no disruption in billing.
Please continue to watch the announcement page closely – we will continue to post new tips that will be helpful during the transition to ICD-10.
