For all services delivered on and after Oct. 1, 2015, ICD-10 codes must be used on all electronic and paper claims. ICD-9 codes will no longer be used—in fact, Medicare and others have already announced that they will reject claims with the incorrect code set sent. The change to ICD-10, which is required under HIPAA regulations, was originally set for Oct. 1, 2013, delayed until Oct. 1, 2014 and delayed again until Oct. 1, 2015 due to industry struggles to implement the new system. Visit the MOA website to determine how ICD-10 will affect your practice, changes from ICD-9, and more.14 KCMS/KCOA BULLETIN SUMMER 2015FOREKCOABTHECMTKNEOUOENTMAKYONSTOTTEAIOCPOSSAATHICCAOIOREBFMTHTEENKECOMUCNKOTAYOSNEIOTAPICOSSALOOK FOR YOUR2016 DUESNOTICE SOONPrompt payment of your KCOA dues is greatly appreciated!VENDOR PROGRAMTHIC
