1 ICD-10 Codes for Optometry Eric Botts, OD Macomb, IL

2 Disclosures I am a member of Speakers Bureau for Zeissmeditec and ALCON but have no financial interest in these companies. I am the owner of OBC Billing Specialists.

3 OBC Billing Specialists Services We Provide 1. Submit Medical/Routine Claims Medical Claims Routine Vision Claims Bill Patient for Balance Due 2. Credential doctors for all insurance plans 3. Medical Coding Booklet and Forms 4. Training Videos for coding/billing

4 Why Change to ICD-10? ICD-10 provides more specific descriptions of medical disease/condition Allows for future changes in the medical coding arena Better quantification of disease state More specific coding results in fewer coding errors

5 When will change occur? Change is scheduled for Oct. 1 st, 2015

6 How do you Prepare? Convert to Electronic Health Records Anything with ICD-9 codes on it needs to be updated to ICD-10 Be sure your clearinghouse and EHR are ready for switch Worst case scenario is delayed reimbursement due to payors not ready for switch on Oct. 1, 2015

7 Organization of ICD-10 H00-H05 Disorders of the eyelid, lacrimal system, and orbit H10-H11 H15-H22 Disorders of the conjunctiva Disorders of the sclera, cornea, iris, and ciliary body H25-H28 H30-H36 H40-H42 Disorders of the lens Disorders of the choroid and retina Glaucoma

8 Organization of ICD-10 H43-H44 H46-H47 Disorders of the vitreous body and globe Disorders of optic nerve and visual pathways H49-H52 H53-H54 H55-H57 H59 Disorders of ocular muscles, binocular movement, accommodation, and refraction Visual disturbances and blindness Other disorders of the eye and adnexa Intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of eye and adnexa, not elsewhere classified

9 How are ICD-10 different from ICD-9? ICD-10 codes differ from ICD-9 because they are alphanumeric and contain 3-7 characters. ICD-9 > ICD > H25.011

10 How are ICD-10 the same? Used to classify disease Use them to be reimbursed by insurance payors

11 How do we convert from ICD-9 to ICD-10? General Equivalence Mapping(GEM) No match-3% 1 to 1 exact mapping-24% 1 to 1 approximate mapping- 68% 1 to many mapping-5% Source: American Medical Association

12 1 to 1 Exact Mapping ICD = Degeneration of macula = Nonexudative macular degeneration = Exudative Macular degeneration ICD-10 H35.30 Unspec macular degener H35.31 Nonexudative AMD H35.32 Exudative AMD

13 1 to 1 Approximate Mapping ICD = Macular Puckering ICD-10 H Right eye or H Left eye or H Bilateral or H Unspecified Macular Puckering

14 1 to Many Mapping ICD Type 1 Controlled Diabetic w/ ophthalmic issues Background DR Diabetic macular edema ICD-10 E Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus with Diabetic Macular Edema = E10.311

15 Refractive ICD-10 Codes Hyperopia H52.00 Hyperopia, unspecified eye H52.01 Hyperopia, right eye H52.02 Hyperopia, left eye H52.13 Hyperopia, bilateral Myopia H52.10 Myopia, unspecified eye H52.11 Myopia, right eye H52.12 Myopia, left eye H52.13 myopia, bilateral

16 Primary Open Angle POAG Glaucoma H40.10X0 POAG, stage unspecified H40.11X1 POAG, mild stage H40.10X2 POAG, moderate stage H40.10X3 POAG, severe stage H40.10X4 POAG, indeterminate stage No bilaterality for suspect, POAG, narrow angle or ocular hypertension

17 Ocular Injuries Corneal abrasion Injury of conj/corneal abrasion w/o FB S05.00XA unspecified eye, initial encounter S05.01XA right eye, initial encounter S05.02XA left eye, initial encounter S05.00XD unspecified eye, subsequent enc S05.01XD right eye, subsequent encounter S05.02XD left eye, subsequent encounter S05.00XS unspecified eye, sequela S05.01XS right eye, sequela S05.02XS left eye, sequela

18 Ocular Injuries continued Initial encounter- first exam of injury Subsequent encounter- follow up visit Sequela- after healing is complete, patient returns with complications resulting from initial injury Example: recurrent corneal erosion occurs in same location as corneal abrasion

19 Age-related Cataract Last digit 1-RT, 2-LT, 3-bilateral H25.03[1,2,3] Ant subcap polar cat H25.04[1,2,3] Post subcap polar cat H25.01[1,2,3] Cortical cat H25.0[1,2,3] Nuclear cat H25.2[1,2,3] Hypermature cat

21 After-cataract Obscuring Vision ICD-10 is not specific for this so use H26.49[1,2,3] Other secondary cataract

27 Will CPT codes change with ICD-10? NO, you will continue to use same codes for exams and procedures 99xxx, 92xxx and s-codes for exams 92250, 92083, will be the same as with ICD-9 codes

28 Will modifiers for CPT codes still be necessary? Yes, and you will need to match them up with correct ICD-10 code for bilateral and unilateral procedures Example: Insert punctal plug (68761) lower left (E2) and lower right (E4) requires H Dry Eye Syndrome of bilateral lacrimal glands
