ICD-10

EZClaim cannot answer questions about the use of ICD-10 codes.  Please contact your payer for any questions related to the use of ICD-10 codes.  This section points out features of EZClaim Premier that relate to the ICD indicator.  This indicator is used to determine if the diagnosis codes should be treated as ICD-9 or ICD-10 codes by the payer.

CMS Web Site on ICD-10: http://www.cms.gov/icd10

You cannot mix ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes on one claim.

Claim ICD Indicator

The claim screen has an ICD indicator field located in the ‘Misc Information’ section of the grid.  The field has two options; ICD-9 and ICD-10. 

Initial Value

The program will automatically set the ICD Indicator to the value selected in program setup.  See “Program Setup” > Claim for information on changing the value.

Code Library

There are two code libraries available for diagnosis codes.  Use ‘Diagnosis Codes’ for ICD-9 and ‘Diagnosis Codes ICD-10’ for ICD-10 codes.  See Code Library for information on the code libraries.

Diagnosis Code Library Lookup

When using the code library to look up a diagnosis code, a filter option is available.  To look up a diagnosis code, double click in the diagnosis field.

Paper Claims

The ICD Indicator prints in Box 21 on the CMS-1500 form.  The valid values are ‘9’ for ICD-9 or ‘0’ for ICD-10.

Electronic Claims

The ICD Indicator will affect the Code List Qualifier Code used in HI segments in Loop 2300.  When ICD-10 is the indicator value, the qualifiers are prefixed with an ‘A’. 

ICD-9 example: HI*BK:11111*BF:22222

ICD-10 example: HK*ABK:33333*ABF:44444
