Do SLPs have to report ICD-10 codes?

How many characters are needed for a diagnosis code?

For ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes, some may be 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 characters long. A 3-character category code is not a valid code if it has a further 4-, 5-, or 6-character breakdown. If a 7th character applies, codes missing a 7th character are invalid. For ICD-10-PCS procedure codes, which apply ONLY to hospitals reporting inpatient procedures, all codes require 7 characters to be valid.

What is the 7th character in ICd 10?

The 7th character is used in the Musculoskeletal, Obstetrics, Injuries, External Causes chapters. It is important to keep in mind that the 7th character is not used in all ICD-10-CM chapters. The 7th character has different meanings and different values depending on the section where it is being used. When the 7th character does apply, it must always be used in the 7th character position. As we noted earlier, when the 7th character applies, codes for which a 7th character applies are invalid if the 7th character is missing.

What is the AHA coding clinic?

The AHA Coding Clinic is a quarterly publication that has provided ICD-9-CM coding advice for over 30 years. In order to support the field’s preparation for ICD-10 implementation, we began providing both ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS coding advice in 2012, at the same time that we provided ICD-9-CM advice. Since early 2014 Coding Clinic has solely focused on ICD-10 advice. The publication provides practical examples of frequently asked questions from the AHA Central Office clearinghouse service. We provide real life application of the classification rules and guidelines based on questions and documentation sent to us by providers who had already started dual coding and were practicing coding with ICD-10. So Coding Clinic is helping fill in those knowledge gaps on code selection identified by the early adopters, so that all providers get to share in the benefits from the advice where a consensus opinion has been achieved.

Is there a coding guideline for ICD-10 PCS?

Yes, there are official coding guidelines available for both ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS on the CMS and CDC websites. These guidelines accompany and complement code set conventions and provide additional instructions. Providers must use these guidelines in conjunction with the code set in order to ensure accurate coding. More importantly, adherence to the official coding guidelines in all healthcare settings is required under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act or HIPAA.

Is there a national requirement for external cause codes?
