The CMS-mandated ICD-10-CM/PCS transition on October 1, 2013 will affect nearly every medical payer and provider in the United States. ICD-10-CM/PCS represents a vast increase in coding granularity and complexity: with some 140,000 distinct diagnosis and procedure codes, ICD-10 dwarfs the 15,000 codes in ICD-9-CM and procedures.
LEAP I-10
Health Language is proud to introduce LEAP I-10, our new ICD-10-CM/PCS conversion solution for providers and payers. Based on the HLI Language Engine, LEAP I-10 is a user-friendly mapping tool for local and standard terminologies including ICD-9-CM and procedures, ICD-10-CM/PCS, GEMs mappings, MS-DRGs, and many other content sets. ICD-9-CM and procedure lists can be imported into the system and converted to ICD-10-CM/PCS with the click of a button. LEAP I-10 provides detailed insights into potential revenue variances generated with the GEMs mappings and allows users to modify these mappings to suit their patient populations. Payers and providers can use LEAP I-10 to model reimbursement scenarios following the ICD-10 conversion and reduce the business risk inherent in this large-scale changeover.
