Now available: ICD-10 Frequently Asked Questions

September 1, 2011

[

A number of health care providers around the country are preparing for the transition to ICD-10, which mandates that:

  • claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2013, must be submitted with ICD-10-CM codes;
  • all inpatient claims with discharge dates on or after October 1, 2013, must be submitted with ICD-10-PCS codes.
  • Claims that are submitted with noncompliant codes after this date will be rejected.

    IBC has created a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the transition to ICD-10. Visit www.ibx.com/icd10 to access the FAQ as well as the latest information about ICD-10. IBC will continue to communicate to providers during the ongoing transition to ICD-10. Please continue to check Partners in Health Update, the NaviNet? web portal, and www.ibx.com/icd10 for information regarding the conversion to ICD-10.
