Now Available: ICD-10 Frequently Asked Questions

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 the ICD-10 page 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.
