ACA releases 2nd edition ICD-10 Toolkit featuring updated resources
November 14, 2014
The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) has released a 2nd edition ICD-10 Toolkit to prepare doctors of chiropractic for a seamless transition to ICD-10 coding beginning Oct. 1, 2015.
Beginning Oct. 1, 2015, the ICD-9 codes currently used to describe diagnoses and treatment plans can no longer be used by HIPAA-covered entities. The conversion to ICD-10 will enable U.S. healthcare providers to report greater specificity and clinical information.
The new coding system includes updated healthcare terminology and provides higher quality data for processing claims and making clinical decisions. It may also enhance the ability to provide data that proves the effectiveness and positive outcomes achieved by chiropractic services.
