4 Medicaid Agencies to Keep Arbitrating under ICD-9
The judgment of the Federal Government to make four state Medicaid agencies provisionally decodes ICD-10 codes into ICD-9 codes because they have not finished the work of improvement and cannot operate payment calculation by utilizing ICD-10 codes might not so be provisional. In case, the policy extends to other states isn’t yet evident.
The states allowed to do a workaround, as first documented in Modern HealthCare, are Montana, Louisiana, Maryland and California. Pat Kennedy, president of PJ Consulting in Rockville, MD., which specializes in electronic information transition and insurers said that many state Medicaid organizations completely deploy Medicaid operations to contractors and are prepared for ICD-10. But the others don’t deploy all operations with these 4 states among them, and they discovered some in house-issues, he further adds.
